Everybody in life encounters, faces, or meets with one problem or the other. Problem is common to man. In fact problem is an integral part of man and quite inevitable.

I have had the opportunity to visit Hospital, Prison, Police cells, Court premises, Hospital Accident /Emergency ward, Mortuary, I have seen people situation in a war torn countries, destitutes, people living in ghettos. I have seen people with different type of problem and have come to a conclusion that I don't have problem compared to what I saw. Take some time out and check these places mentioned you will give God the glory that yours is better. "Count your blessing; name them one by one and it will surprise you what God have done". Do you also know that the "Rich also Cry". The fact the rich live in affluence does not mean they don't have problem. "The Chicken also sweats but the feathers will not allow us to see the sweat". I wish the rich will have the opportunity to tell us their problems you will come to conclusion that you need to thank God. Cheer up.
