Something God has really put on my heart recently is faith. Faith when things are good. Faith when things are mediocre. Faith when things are hard. There is no such thing as a coincidence. Everything happens for a reason, even if you don't understand it. God has really put on my heart that just because something to me seems perfect and will glorify Him, if He doesn't set in my heart that it is to be done then I must let go. No matter how great it is. No matter how badly I want it. If God isn't behind it, it isn't worth obtaining. Even when it doesn't make sense to NOT have it...I have learned that meditating on his Word is the best way to get strength. Faith in God to me is following Him especially when it doesn't make sense. It's commonly referred to as blind faith. I trust in my God to deliver me from evil and that he has great plans for me. Some of the verses I found relating to this are:
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 28:26
He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But he who walks wisely will be delivered.
Psalm 9:9-10
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.And those who know Your name will put their trust in You
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Isaiah 50:10
Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of her servant? Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.
