When Life is Tough, Can God Trust me?

Life can be hard - and grossly unfair. When the bad things happen,we often ask "Can I trust God?" But perhaps the real question is, "Can God trust me?" Can He trust us to hold on? Can He trust us to want to become mature Christians, or will we remain little children who believe in Him only if He makes it worth our while? When life seems to cave in for no reason at all, will we remember that God is faithful?

If we're going to be handle life when it doesn't make sense, will we set our faces in the right direction and keep walking as He walked? At times the road will be long and dark, the mountains unscalable. Because we're human we won't always make perfect choices. Sometimes it will seem we take two steps forward and one step back, but it doesn't really matters. All that really matters is being on the right road.

Indeed, in times of the turmoil, no one will understand each other. You cannot understand how much I have gone through and I cannot comprehend your pain that you are having now. But God knows and understands all of them. He may choose to act or to be silent. Nothing is too great or too powerful to stand in the way of God chooses to act. Question: What are we going to do in the midst of our circumstances or situation?

Tonight, I pray, Lord, as we struggle with sorrow or loneliness or ill health or pain, help us to continue trusting and serving You. Help us to walk in the right road, so You can also trust us that in any cirucumstances - we hang on to You. Lord, help us to understand that You are the one that is worth it all - the one worth living for because Your Love to us is forever and You are faithful, always. Amen.
