Restored Faith

Many times, problems arise that cause even the deepest rooted Christians to question their faith. It may seem as if you are being tested beyond your limit and you do not know if God is going to come through for you. In these times, it is important that you use all of the strength you have to still hold on to God.

Reflect on past times in your life when you thought you were not going to make it through. Did the Lord God not come to your rescue?

This trial you are going through may be a little harder than what you’ve had to go through before, but know if the Lord brought you out then, He’ll bring you through this. There is nothing too hard for God.

As I write this today, I minister to myself as well as to anyone that might be reading this. Several test and trials have come into my life that have caused me to question if God was on my side, but then, I remember that He promised me that He would not put more on me than I can bear. If I’m going through this, I can handle this! Be encouraged!

Take some time to reflect on this week's scripture:

Jeremiah 31:25
For I have given rest to the weary and joy to the sorrowing.”
