28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Matthew 11:28-29

Life is full of challenges. Some good and some bad. God promises he will help us through these challenges, no matter what they are, if we put our faith in Him.

Hebrews chapter 11 is one of the great "Faith Chapters" in the Bible. It tells us now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. It demonstrates several examples of faith in an effort to teach us how to grow and apply faith to our own lives.

Build on your own faith. Learn to trust God for every need you have. He is faithful and will take care of you, but you have to learn to trust Him.

The same God that created heaven and earth, parted the Red Sea for Moses and raised Lazarus from the dead is the same God that has promised He will meet all your needs if you have faith in Him. There is nothing that God cannot deal with. 

Do you think God doesn't hear your prayers or is not watching out for you? If you do, that is a pretty arrogant line of thinking. God promises He will take care of us and answer our prayers. If you say He is not answering your prayers, then you seem to think you are special enough to be set apart from those whose God's promises are for.

God promises He will never leave us and He tells us to cast all our cares on Him. Trust in God. He knows what He's doing. If He doesn't do things the way you think they should be done, or in the time frame you think they should be done, it doesn't matter. It's not up to you. 

Trust God to do as He promises and you will be on your way to a peaceful life.

Yours in Christ's Service,
