I know that as Christians, we are expected to have faith in God at all times. And not just any faith. We are expected to have a strong unwavering faith that can weather any storm.
But the reality is that sometimes our faith is weak. We question God and we wonder:
- Will things ever work out for me?
- Is God hearing my prayers?
- Will He answer me?
- Is He working out things on my behalf?
- Has He forgotten me?
- Is His plans for me really good?
When your faith is weak, you have to remind yourself about who God is. This is the time to repeat Biblical affirmations.
This is the time to declare who God is.
You have to remind yourself that He is good and He is faithful.
