TRUSTING GOD FOR SOLUTION

Narration:

Does God really care about humans? Is He truly bothered about human issues and how humans get solutions to their problems? These are the burning questions in the hearts of many, even amongst believers. The truth is that God really does. Even more, there is nothing about us that He doesn’t care about, no matter how little or unimportant we may think it is.

Another question then arises, if God really cares, why doesn’t He answer our prayers instantly? Worst of all is when we have been praying (and even fasting) for long and still don’t get our desired answers. After a while, some people lose hope in God and start seeking alternative solutions. Some who sought their so-called solutions outside of God, even dare to deceptively claim that it was God’s intervention, only to end up in grief, pain and sorrow for their mockery against God (Luke 8:17).

Sincerely speaking, it can be frustrating sometimes when God delays in giving responses and this is why He instructs us not to fear or be dismayed. He also left us with a sure promise – “I am with thee”. His silence is not necessarily neglect. It is Him feeling the pain with you quietly and strengthening you through it all. So even when God seems silent, we can be sure that He is not far away. He alone knows why He answers some prayers speedily and delays on some – it doesn’t always have to do with how righteous or sinful we are. Beloved, always remember that God loves you unconditionally and His thoughts towards you are always good (Jeremiah 29:11). Wait on God for all solutions and enjoy real, lasting peace in the end.

Prayer:

Everlasting Father, thank You for always being merciful to me and supplying all my needs. Help me to always trust in You alone for all solutions; I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
