Amen \A`men"\, v. t. To say Amen to; to sanction fully. ...
The promises of God are Amen; i.e., they are all true and sure (2Cor. 1:20). ...
a statement to express assent or approval.

These are some definitions that seem to frame what it means to say "amen."

A modern substitute might be to simply say, "So be it."  ... "amen."

When you wake up tomorrow and realize that you have no money, try this:  "Well ... amen! ,  Amen.  Well, just amen."

When you wake up tomorrow and recollect that people have been slandering you let your heart say: "Amen,  Well, amen."

When someone takes too long at the ATM, try saying to God:  "Amen.  Well ... amen, just amen."

When your image has been torn down by embarrassing mishaps, or grievous hatred, why not release it and simply say: "Amen, Lord, amen."

Problems arise as pressure to push us into God's presence.  Do not try to shrink the problems by force.  Instead yield to them, and give way.  Let them cause you to rely upon Him.  Do not struggle for control that you will never have.  Don't fret.  Say "amen."

You can always tell carnality by the struggle to press back against problems, but maturity in Christians is determined as maturity in plumbs ... the ripe ones will yield to pressure.

With the warmest of regards,
