At the risk of seeming callous...
God may have allowed your circumstances for a reason.

I've been there. When we encounter a tough situation we want to escape.
To free ourselves from the pain, aggravation, or discomfort.

Oftentimes God has a better solution than what we can reason on our own.
Moses didn't pray for the Red Sea to open as an escape route. That was God's idea.

Best to present our situation to God to receive his best solution.

What we really need to do: Turn it over to God.
Which means, the PROBLEM, not my SOLUTION.
