Joshua 1:8 - Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Everyone who is facing a problem or any challenge in life will be solved based on how much one dwells in the presence of God. The word Dwell means a fixed position, not something that occurs seldom. You have to abide in the scriptures. Many Christians or rather believers are visitors to God, when they face the storms in their life. If one wants to lead a victorious christian life, then he or she can never be just a visitor or only be spending an hour a day or when facing the storms.
During world war II US soldiers were supposed to go to their enemy's area. Before sending them they should be well equipped and well versed in foreign language. And the Chief put those soldiers in a camp where only those were present who could speak the language. Moreover, they were not supposed to speak any other language. So, within 6 weeks they could learn the foreign language. The soldeirs could learn it only because they would hear, see and read that language. Nothing else was present there.
I believe most of the problem people have because they aren't aware of God's presence. There's is a lack in the knowledge of the scriptures. If they had the same, it would have changed their thoughts, their attitude towards the challenges. Proverbs 3:6 says in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Meditating the scripture more will help you to be filled with the word. Once you dwell in his words more than the world, your attitude towards problem will be different.
Psalm 91:1 says that you'll abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
