Unbelief loves to paint the bleakest picture it can. It loves to get us mumbling to ourselves, I’m not going to make it. I just know this is going to turn out terrible. The future is bound to crash on me.Let me tell you that God, who began a good work in you, is not about to stop now. After sending his Son to die for your sins, after saving you at such incredible cost, why would he let you fail now?

If we choose to turn left when God wants us to go right, we cannot expect God to support the plans we made on our own.

…God is not dead; he really does communicate today. He’s interested in every part of your life, your home, your finances, every kind of decision – and more than just the moral issues. His eye is always on you. He wants to lead you. But you have to believe that he will indeed speak to you when you wait before him in believing prayer, with a yielded heart to do his will.

We like to control the map of our life and know everything well in advance. But faith is content just knowing that God’s promise cannot fail. This, in fact, is the excitement of walking with God.

Satan wants us to focus on the problem, not the Provider. He constantly points to what seems to be rather than to what God has promised to do. If we stop spending time with the Lord in prayer, the concerns of the physical world snatch our attention and dominate us, while the spiritual senses deaden and the promises fade.I am absolutely convinced that the number one reason that Christians today don’t pray more is because we do not grasp the connection between prayer and the promises of God. We are trying as individuals and churches to pray ‘because we’re supposed to’ without a living faith in the promises of God concerning prayer. No faith life of any significance can be maintained by this ‘ought-to’ approach. There must be faith in God at the bottom….When real faith in God arises, a certainty comes that when we call, he will answer…that when we ask, we will receive…that when we knock, the door will be opened…

When we seek God for answers, we must persevere in prayer, letting it build up day after day until the force of it becomes a mighty tide pushing over all obstacles.
