Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown
of life (revelation 2:10 *niv )
Dear Friend,
There are many times in this
life when our faith is put to the test.
Times that we may even feel that God has abandoned us because a prayer
isn't answered the way we want it to be. Know that it is written; though now for a little while, if
need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much
more precious than gold that perishes,
though it is tested by fire, may be
found to praise, honor, and glory at the
revelation of Jesus Christ. ( 1 peter
1:6-7 )
Also know that sometimes what we
pray for isn't God's will for us thus; this is the confidence we have in
approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. ( 1 john 5:14 )
You see, sometimes what we pray
for would actually hurt us in the long run, and our Heavenly Father is
protecting us from that. Other times we
just can't understand God's ways for; no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit
of God. (1 Corinthians 2:11)
However, we do know He loves us
very much, and would never abandoned us or deliberately hurt us. So we must keep our faith knowing that God is
with us and that no matter what happens He is in control!
Therefore it is important that; we walk by faith, not by
sight. (2
Corinthians 5:7) trusting that God knows what is best for us, even if a prayer
isn't answered the way we want it to
be! Amen.
All My Love & Prayers,
