Can we force Krishna to clear our problems?
A woman devotee (Name hidden) asked like this:
“No doubt Krishna is protecting us in every situation but I am fed up with some of the problems in my life. So I want Krishna to fight for me. so is it possible? now a days some difficult time is with me. please pray for me.”
REPLY:
Your situation may be genuine that needs some true support from others.
Krishna expects His devotees to perform their duties. Then, He makes His blessings available.

But, Krishna helps the devotees through the following means:
(i) He gives us sufficient intelligence to understand our problem that is the first step of solution.
(ii) He gives us sufficient strength to face the problems.
(iii) He gives us a few people who will help you to solve your problems.
(iv) He will ensure that we have successfully come out of your problems.
(v) He will also protect us from following wrong means to solve the problem.
Thus, the mercy and protection of Krishna is always available to the devotees as a shield. No need to force Krishna to clear our problems.
You say that Krishna should fight for you.
He really cares you and He does not come directly to see your problems solved.
Because, Krishna helps His devotees through some people only.
So, He may make gradual changes in the minds of those who are the cause for your problems. He will give them some experiences through some people that will change their negative attitude towards you.
You may not know what happened to them. But, they will reduce their activities against you in near future.
Krishna will never tolerate if anyone tortures or disturbs His devotees. He makes the devotees to finally succeed in life.

He performs this FIGHTING FOR YOU behind the screen in a subtle way. In fact, Krishna does not fight, but, just thinks that His sincere devotee should not be defeated by the clever people. Even if He just thinks a moment in favour of us, we will succeed.
The unique quality of Krishna is, He tests His devotees to bring them closer to Him. He does not create new problems. Instead, He gives the reactions of your past karma faster after moderating/ reducing the severity of the reactions so that you can face them within this birth and go back to Krishna at the end of this birth itself.
That is why, the devotees get more problems. In fact, they don’t get more new problems, but, face all their pending karmic reactions FASTER.
He does not want to see us take birth again and again and suffer in the hands of maya. He gives His hands to us to lift us from these material sufferings. Since He is pure, He has to make us pure from karma to get qualified to enter into His kingdom. So, He gives all the reactions now faster and makes us pure from karmic reactions and then take us back to His kingdom faster.
So, the repeated problems that we face indicate that Krishna is acting directly to make us pure from karma.

As matured devotees, we should not allow ourselves to be suppressed by the problems. Instead, just be a spectator of your own problems. Let whatever happens in their course. Face the failures, success, unions, separations, etc., as the effects of karma. Just be smiling and do not strain the relations by using unnecessary words. Be a silent spectator. Take some productive steps to solve the problem. The result will be decided by Krishna.
Forcing Krishna means that we do not have sufficient faith in the mercy of Krishna. Being situated in our hearts, Krishna knows all our needs.
But, Krishna knows well what to give and not to give to His devotees because He knows our activities of all our previous births.
So, We need not force Krishna to clear our problems. He Himself know how and when to clear them.

Ha ha, still there is a genuine way to force Krishna to act for us. It is by seriously following the devotion without even a trace of doubts. Krishna will observe our dedication and offer His blessings fast.
In any situation, Krishna will not let you down. Be hopeful. Though you lose something, that too will be for your good.
If you gain something, it is the gift from Krishna.
So, hereafter force Krishna to bless you fast by giving 100% dedication to the devotion.
More dedication – Faster will be His mercy.
Already, we have been given a short route to get Krishna in this Kaliyuga by simply chanting His Holy Names.
What is the problem for us to do this simple sadhana with dedication and get Krishna fast?
This is the secret behind the problems allowed by Krishna.
