Oftentimes, we forget what God has done for us. When God doesn't answer us expediently we distant ourselves in studying, praying, praising, belief, and faith in Him. In fact, we don't acknowledge anything that he has ever done for us. We constantly say negative things contrary to the word of God. In our own righteousness, we begin to complain, murmur, bicker and try to work things out on our own, only to make a mess of things. God doesn't need our help in any of life's situations. God is a miraculous God and the Bible gives us accurate accounts of the miracles that he had performed.
Surely, our problems didn't caught him off guard. We need to repent and ask God for forgiveness and recognize that he is the only one who can turn negative situations into positive ones. No matter how things look don't doubt the power of God, trust God in every area of your lives even when situations seems like there is no hope and God can't fix it. Take the limits off of God and trust him enough to do the miraculous in your situation.
Consider Mark 6:51-52 Jesus ceased the wind; they were amazed beyond measure, and wondered. Previously, they witnessed his miraculous feeding of five thousand with two fish and five loaves of bread, how soon did they forget what he had done. Much like us, we forget what God has done for us. Take the promises of God pray his scriptures back to him and you will be amazed of how your situation will begin to change, working in your favor. Let God be God!
Signs of a hardened heart: -panic in the time of trouble
-frustration & failure (trying to work things out on your own)
-failure in considering the blessings of God (what He has already done for us)
-failure to give God attention (ceased praying, studying, believing and praising)
Remedy -recognize that your heart isn't right, you have a problem, spend time with Him daily, meditate on the blessings of God in your life & thank Him for what He has already done and doing in your life/situation.

Things you Must do to Push Forward
Exodus 14:15-16 God instructed Moses on what to do in order for the children of Israel to walk on dry land and Moses was obedient. We as believers must be like-wise. We must forgive one another, don't carry your ills around with you. Find a way to let go of the past and be fruitful in 2013. Let go of past wounds, heartaches, family dramas, and disappointments. We have to forgive in order for God to forgive us; put on the "new man" and walk in the spirit of love, kindness, humbleness of mind and live peaceably with all men. Only God can repay a person for the evil things that they have done. Don't seek revenge! He that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons (Colossians 3:25).
