When we try to do things on our own strength we always fall short. We need to depend not on ourself.
You ever allow the enemy to convince you that the day sucks? But problems are a gift from God, see James 1:4. Learn to be excited in Jesus over your problems, it is understanding that you cannot make it but He can make it. Problems are inevideable they will come. Problems will come unexpected and in a variety of shapes and sizes. But you see problems have a purpose. Problems help you to purify your faith, patience and character. God is more interested in your character than your comfort. Problems are not permanent, even for those in pain for years. Problems will push out of you what is in you.
You cannot enjoy the taste of tea without hot water and you cannot have hot water without the heat. You cannot enjoy life without problems because you will never understand joy without overcoming a problem in Christ.
The gift of friendship becomes difficult in all the business of life. See David would not have been King without the help of Johnathan. We all have a desire for a friendship like that of David and Johnathan, see 1 Sam 18 also Ecc 4:9-the benefits. Thing is we all want this friendship but we are not willing to be that friend. Selah. If you want a friend than you must become a friend.
Culture does not promote close friendships. We should know a good friend because they should bring out the best of you.
It would be ideal for us all to have:
-A Moses to lead us
-A Johnathan as a close friend
-A Timothy to mentor us
