Faith is intended to give us the wisdom and power to walk through life's hardest times, not just to get rid of those times. Hard times are the canvas upon which God paints a life purpose of victory.God's purpose for life's trials can bring us into our finest hour. But we need to learn to let Him make us before He will send us. The trial is never about the trial. By faith we learn to find something worth dying for, and then we will have found something worth living for.

Many a faith battle pivots upon the willingness to surrender everything to God. A big problem in faith is not how to receive from God's hand but letting go of our own hand hold. Surrender activates faith by releasing our expectation of how God will work it out. Let go of what you’re afraid to lose.

God has given us a brain, emotions, and a soul that only functions properly when His word is our highest reality. We are designed in such a way that faith and transformation only come by time spent with Him. We can't live by faith when most of what we receive is from the world instead of from the Lord.

In hard times, you're not here to prove how good you are or to fix it all yourself. You're here to let God show how good He is! Faith is more than a privilege, it’s a responsibility and an expectation that will glorify God. Your mind is too valuable to allow it to be abused by fear and trouble.

Some think that faith ought to deliver them from all their problems or there's something wrong with them. Faith will 'mess' with a man until his heart changes. Faith won’t produce a life of harmony with this world. It will release an abundant life within that cannot be overcome by darkness.

One day, only the presence of God will sustain us. The criticisms of others about our afflictions don’t mean a thing. Trials don’t mean we’re forsaken or don't have enough faith. They work to establish the fire of Christ in our souls until we know we can't be defeated & that He’s a greater reality than our pain.

Your days of affliction and conscience are God’s invitation. They are as the Song of Solomon seeks for you to know God’s love. You'll/never know how loud your cry was until God silences what/you thought was quietness! It’s time to stop carrying the weight of trying to be your own creator.

When God sees you trapped in sin, is His first thought, “I will judge him,” or “I will rescue him?” He sees our prison cells as a broken-hearted Father would, not as an executioner. He sees our fear and says, “I will be your great reward. I will give you My life and all that I have.”

Jesus told Peter, “You’re going to fail, but have faith. I won't fail you.” We’ll never arrive at a place here where we don’t need a Savior every day. God’s not so much disappointed with us as we are with ourselves in our failed expectations, and faith and hope won’t grow in the soil of wounded pride.

God's word is more powerful than hard times. He doesn’t always remove the threat by faith, but He removes it’s power over you. The early church was persecuted yet had joy, peace, and hope. He hasn’t changed! It's not the absence of hard times that gives the human soul victory. It's the presence of God.

Faith doesn’t require the ability to figure it out. It is the evidence of things that can’t be seen; so relax, it’s beyond the wisdom of man. It’s nature is to be tested and to always prevail. Just because your faith is being tested doesn’t mean there’s something wrong. God’s getting you ready to be lifted up.
