"We all face trouble sooner or later, not because God does not love us, but because we are part of the human race. Perhaps today you feel like the psalmist who prayed:
"O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; For my soul is full of troubles. . ." Psalm 88:1-3
Our trials, tests and troubles can trip and tempt us to doubt and despair or they can transport us to new triumphs of faith. Trouble will either make us mad at God for permitting it or drive us to Him for sustaining grace and help. How do you respond to trouble?

I say when ones soul is full of troubles, they've made some bad choices in life. They are weak and now ask this guy "GOD" to fix it for them. I have "faith" in myself to have the ability to make good sound decisions, without the fear of "GOD" looming over me...
I'd say logic and discipline are two great qualities to help keep you away from thesituation stated in "Psalm 88:1-3".

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
