Have Faith

Don't Lose Faith. God is Working Things Out for You!

Faithe Reid-Liburd
Although it seems as if many have lost their faith, there are some that are still holding strong. Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (KJV) The word now denotes in the present, meaning that you must acknowledge hope today. Faith is not faith if you need proof before believing. While those around you are fearful, put fear aside. Be reassured in the knowledge that God is still in control. Join others (around the world) who still believe.

Furthermore, it may appear as if God is allowing sorrow, but sorrow will not last forever. Revelations 21:4 states, "And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor pain, for the former things have passed away."(NKJV) You need to realize that, whatever you need God to do in your life, He is able to do it and is already working it out for you. Over the years, I have faced many challenges, but I have never forgotten that when I pray, God hears my prayers. I have never forgotten that God never sleeps and is always available to help.

Have you lost your faith? Don't allow that to happen. Begin praying earnestly and seek God. He will help you to regain your strength. Now faith means that you trust God and understand that, though it seems as if your answer is delayed, it does not mean that God did not hear you. What it means is that God wants you to be still and listen to that quiet small voice letting you know that everything is going to be alright. Have faith in God. We have faith in everything around us, but have a hard time believing God. Don't do that to yourself.

In conclusion, of all the times in your life when you need to have faith, this is that time. What do you have to lose? Nothing! What do you have to gain?-a great deal! Put doubt aside and trust God. To have faith means that you believe (in advance) that He has already provided everything you need. If you will be patient and have faith, you will see that God is going to answer your prayer requests. Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Start believing today. Remember that, just after your darkest hour, the sun will begin to shine again. God loves you. Have faith in Him. Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." NKJV
Have faith in Him today. You will begin to see that, the problem that you were worried about, God has already resolved it and He was just waiting for you to believe.

Never forget that you are loved.
