But what happens to your faith when you don’t see things change the way you’ve been praying for them to? What happens when life doesn’t get better in the time you expected it to, or maybe never gets better? Do you keep hoping, keep praying, keep trusting? What if you get to the end of your life, and things haven’t moved an inch? Do you have the faith to hold on? If you pray and pray and pray for God to heal someone, and they die anyway, do you have the foundation and strength to keep trusting? Or is your faith in God reliant on seeing miracles happen in your life and in the lives of those around you?
Can you believe, can you trust, even when you feel like you have never received an answer to prayer? If we believe in a God that allows us to spend eternity with Him, why would we not expect there to be faithful people who do not see God moving this side of eternity? God has all of time to make up for what happens during your life on Earth. The question is - can you remain faithful and hopeful for a lifetime without seeing the fulfilment of His promises here, trusting that you will receive your answers, your mountains will be moved, and the sea will be parted - in heaven?
‘When You don't move the mountains
I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers
As I cry out to You
I will trust,
I will trust, I will trust in You.’
Lauren Daigle
