Faith in God means we believe, no matter how bad things look, that God will work them together for good. (Romans 8:28) When God says he will work all things for good, there is no exception. Too often, we look at what we are experiencing and cannot fathom how it will work out, but that’s exactly when we need to place that situation into our Father’s capable hands. They are the very hands that created the world and we can rest, knowing that he has things under control
Maybe you’re continually praying but getting no answers. Perhaps the thing you’re asking for is a good thing, something that would benefit you and your family. Still, the answer is not forthcoming. What does it look like to have faith in this situation? Read Psalm 84:11:
“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”
As you keep reading God’s Word, your faith will grow and when things in your life happen and you don’t understand, you’ll still put your faith in God. When God doesn’t answer your prayers, instead of being upset, you will come to realize what you prayed for must not have been good for you. If it were, God would not withhold it.
