Believe in Him

I was in prayer a few nights ago, and God highlighted something to me. I was praying for something that was quite important, yet in my heart, I had fallen into despair. I was praying for something as if I had already lost the battle.

In that moment, God brought the most unlikely verse to my heart. John 3:16.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

As I heard that verse repeated, three words stuck out to me. ‘Believe in Him”

Suddenly, it was like an awakening to the reality I had placed myself in. I was believing in the problem, but had lost sight of God’s powerful hand.

We are saved through faith, and we are saved into faith. Our relationship with God is one of dynamic trust that is so much more than the key to our salvation. It is the foundation on which we stand that enthrones God over not only our lives, but our circumstances.

I don’t know how God will answer that prayer – but in the end, it does not matter. He will, I know it. Whatever it looks like, though – I believe in Him and trust Him to make it so.

So consider this in your prayer life, in the things you are seeking, and even in the questions you ask. Believe Him to answer – even if you do not know the details and even if it has already been a long time. Know that He is good, and does not contradict His word.
