2 Corinthians 10:4

​The Lord has not deserted you, but is sharpening your weapons...

When you read the Scriptures and apply them (all) to your life, the Lord will not just give you more of Him, but He actually gets more of you.

Don't attempt to figure out what the outcome is, because it may work-out totally different than you expect. This can only lead to frustration.

Remember, God does not always make your problems disappear, but instead, (strengthens) you to the point that, that problem no longer (affects) you the same. 

Others will actually gain strength, and encouragement - as they observe you conquer your former weaknesses. 

"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;"
