Speak to yourself!

There is so much around us that can be so discouraging to our faith.  Whether it is a health issue that you are trying to overcome, your debt that you don't know how you will ever pay off, unhappiness in a marriage or a difficult family situation and so much more that people are just suffering with.  I can hear it on the voices of the people I have come across how their problems have discouraged any faith from their hearts. 
Problems carry such a heavy burden to the point of overwhelming our hearts and minds so there is no room for the hope of faith.  As i read about when God spoke to Ezequiel when he was in a valley full of dead bones, it was very clear what God wants us to do in our difficult situations.  He wants us to speak to the dead issues in our lives so God can spring up life to what is defeated.  This is what God was teaching Ezequiel;
 "4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”Ezequiel 37:4-6
I encourage you to speak to the problems that you are facing, use your faith that God will transform these problems and bring forth a solution.  Like God said to Ezequiel that He would bring dry dead bones back to life so that he would know that God is Lord. 
God wants you to know that He is Lord, so deposit your faith on Him and start speaking as if the problem has already been solved. 
"We live by faith, not by sight" 2Corinthians 5:7
