Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1
If you're waiting on the Lord for something, that God has promised, that lines up with his will and plans for your life hold on because God's word says:
"For the Lord God is our sun and our shield.
He gives us grace and glory.
The Lord will withhold no good thing
from those who do what is right. (Psalm 84:11)
New living translation
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeramiah 29:11 (NIV)
God is there, and he loves each and everyone of us, unconditionally, he is in love with us and desires a deep and intimate relationship with us. If you are struggling at the moment, remember that Faith is something that we don't just instantly accquire. It is something that comes through renewing our relationship with God on a daily basis. We need to learn to trust GOD with the little things as well as the big things. Sometimes that is not always easy, when our world becomes impossibly bleak and hopeless.
But here's a promise that can help us strengthen our faith when the storms in our lives seem never ending...
But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I give Egypt for your ransom,
Cush and Seba in your stead.
ISAIAH 43
