the long and the short

I really love the wryness of this. So funny, so true.

Life really is not about problems. You certainly think so, or have thought so. You have thought the sum of your life is your problems and your solving them. There is no them.  
  Problems are in your thinking. When you think something is big, it's big. That's the long and the short of it.
.......
You are here in life for something greater than solving problems. 
  In fact, eliminate the word "problem" from your vocabulary. Don't even call what you see as your problems as opportunities or challenges because you kid no one, least of all yourself.
.......
Problems are problems so long as you think they are.

I tried to protest, of course. Aren't there real problems -- health, relationships, money...? If I don't call them "problems", if I don't see "problem", won't they persist or get worse nevertheless and simply demand to be dealt with?
  But seriously, If I refused to call anything a problem and to view and experience it as a problem, what would happen? I'm not so sure any more. Perhaps problems need a landing pad, and if I don't provide one......... Hmm, this is new to me, but God says, "What is not possible?" I guess there would be simply some action or perhaps inaction, but it would no longer come from thinking "problem" or from thinking "solution". There would be no worry involved, no fear.

You do not need help. You have help. You are not powerless. You are powerful. The King's child has great power, but he has to know it, and he has to use it.
  Do not enjoy your problems so much, and do not enjoy talking about them so much. Hand them over, and go about your business for Me.

I read this Heavenletter some time ago and liked it very much, but forgot to print it or make some note. Trying to locate it again now proved difficult. The key word I remembered was "problem", so I tried to find it in the list of "Related Topics", but it wasn't there. Since "problem" is a word of considerable frequency in Heavenletters, I didn't have much hope to easily find this Heavenletter via the search functions provided on this site. But I was lucky, it came up as the very first of many many hits, probably because it has "problem" twenty-seven times!
  When I opened it, I took a look at the "Related Topics" and spotted "concept of problem", a phrase that I was then able to find in the list. I also saw that there are quite a few "concept of ..." entries with their key words not appearing as separate entries in the list. So, for now, if there is a term I can't find, I will look unter "concept of ..." But I'm sure every important term will have its own entry in the finished list one day. To all who are working on it: Thank you so much! And please know I'm not complaining.
