We must trust God even when we don't understand!


Trusting God when everything is going our way is easy. But we have to trust Him when things look like we are never going to see our prayers answered. 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We have to meditate on the word of God concerning our situation in order to keep our faith strong. If we don't we will be overwhelmed with our circumstances.

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We have to be consistent in seeking God in prayer and his word in order to out last our bad circumstances. God is faithful even if our prayers are not answered how we think they should be. He will always give us what we need and He will always bring us through whatever we might be going through. Patience is the key to helping us to not give up!

“But we long to see you passionately advance until the end and you find your hope fulfilled. So don’t allow your hearts to grow dull or lose your enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6:11-12‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Discouragement

Have you ever been discouraged about a problem or sin that you just can't seem to overcome? Well if you are human I know you have or are still struggling with something in your life. 

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭NLT‬‬

So what do we do when we are dealing with this nagging problem! This thing in our lives that keeps us from moving forward with God! 

We just go to him and ask him to help us with the situation and to show us what we need to do to get the victory!

So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:14-16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

He will show us what we need to do sometimes it might mean us walking away from friendships that are not good for us. But we can be sure that whatever He tells us to do it's for our own good! God loves us and He is looking to bless us so we can be a blessing to others! Be encouraged you will get the victory just keep seeking God!
