Trust & Wait
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. Psalms 27:13-14

David trusted God and he believed that because God gave him help in the past he would again in the future. The same is true today. Every time God gives you help you should be confident that He is able to do it again. The situations we get entangled with in life come with great pressure and at times you and I feel like we will not survive another day. The truth of the matter is God is the one who had ultimate control and power to change the outcome of our situations over time. Worrying will not get you out of the situation any faster. You need to learn to wait for the Lord.
All of us have to go to the ups and downs of life. I realized from my own experiences that there is a time when all of our prayers get answered right away and another time when we don’t know what is going. When life is difficult you must remember the good times. When you think that God has forgotten you is the time that you must remember the times when He actually came through. You have to be alert, diligent. You must be like David in the above scripture; you must wait for the Lord. One day he will see the victory. If you believe this, it will make you strong and we will experience His glory.
Waiting is definitely not easy. You have to train your body and mind to learn to wait and to resist discouragement when going through that period of frustration. The Holy Spirit wants to help you, and all you have to do is ask for help. Your prayer life should be a priority. Come to God in prayers often. Most Christians come to God in afflictions, which is unfortunate because there is no time to develop the relationship and they don’t know how God operates. (He always operates in love with our best interests in mind). Someone asked me recently why do we have to pray at all? Why can’t we get all that we deserve? The truth of the matter is that I am glad that I serve a God who does not give me what I deserve (afflictions, pain, death, eternal separation from Him) we deserve death for our disobedience; it is the grace of God that keeps us alive. Friend, you have to remember that without God you cannot do anything. He wants you to rely on Him for all of your needs.
Stop resisting and turn your life over to His capable hand. Your loving father knows your heart and your deepest desire, trust in His love and ability to change your situation and He will.
Praise the Lord!
