So long as satan and his cohorts still abode and undertake all their operations here on earth problems will not cease.

The good news is, God always know how to deliver His own and rescue them from all troubles: God has promised the righteous a deliverance from all troubles and afflcitions:
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. Psalm 34:19-22
The devil will stop at nothing but to throw his best weapons at us so we may give up our hope or even lose our salvation. Remember that God never promised anyone a smooth flight but only a safe landing. He didn't say the journey will be trouble free but promised us a safe arrival:
When you pass through the waters, I’ll be with you; and through the rivers, they won’t sweep over you. when you walk through fire you won’t be scorched, and the flame won’t set you ablaze. “I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Redeemer. And I’ve given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and the people of Seba in exchange for you. Since you’re precious in my sight and honored, and because I love you, I’m giving up people in your place, and nations in exchange for your life.” Isaiah 43:2-4
The word ''when" means it is bound to happen at a set time. We all don't know when troubles will start knocking on our doors but we know our redeemer lives and he is with us and so nothing to be afraid of.
This is a great assurance and something we can rely on for our safety. The problem of many believers today is that they forget the promises of God so soon.

They focus more on what they are going through instead of focusing more on their God. If we are going to win every battle in life we must remember the one who fights on our behalf. We should remember the God who is so strong in battle, the one whose enemies scatters when he rise.
Often times we easily forget God's word when there is an impending danger. Christians normally remember their drugs first when they are sick and not their God, they will first telling people about their marital challenges before praying about it. This always gives the enemy an upper hand to win most of the battles we face.
God through his servants Moses made the the children of Isreal aware of the battles they will face before possessing their promised land. The Land he promised them were already occupied by enemies.
God intentionally led them through the wilderness and performed many miracles right in their eyes so that they will rely on Him completely as the lord who goes before them to do their battles. However they never remember the Lord who is so strong in battle, the one who had performed dumfounding miracles, signs which was beyond imaginations.
When they saw the the Anaks(giants) in the land of Cannan they lost hope and realised they were mere grasshoppers in their eyes that will soon be devoured.
And they returned from searching of the land after forty days. And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. And they told him, and said, We came unto the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. Nevertheless the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan. And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. Numbers13:25-33
Ten men out of the twelve discouraged all the children of Isreal with their evil report but for Joshua and Caleb there would have lost the battle.

Many Christians magnify their enemies more than God and that's why they lose battles. The best way to handle any battle and to win is to magnify your God more than the enemy you are dealing with.
Are you battling with sickness? is it hardship? is it marital or finances ? is it about job or issues confronting you at work place? Is it in your Christian life?
The best way to handle all those battle is to first remember what God has told you in His word and rely completely on those promises or words.

Go to God in prayer whiles you keep reminding Him of His promises that a thousand shall fall at your hand and thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you but only with your eyes will you see the reward of the wicked.
You have to absolutely rely on every word God has said to you concerning anything you are going through, they are the right grounds for you to have an upper hand over every battle the enmey lead you into.
If you rely on God and His word there will be no need to do the battle yourself, God himself will fight for you.
I see you winning every battle
