How often do we forget the power of God? Sometimes it’s when we are in financial crisis... other times we get scared when the doctor tells us she found something on our X-rays. Fear sets in. Storm clouds gather. We feel helpless, hopeless, and alone. Can God REALLY do what the Bible says He can?
I think some of the most common doubting takes place when it comes time to pray. Is God listening to me? Does He even care? If He does hear me... what will his answer be? What if He says “wait” or even “No..” What will I do then? If you’ve ever found yourself wondering the same thing when you pray, today’s verse has good news for you Ready for it? Here it is:
“If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” - Romans 8:31b
God is for you.
Read that one more time... God is for you.
Paul asks... “If God is for us, who can ever be against us?”
Great question... but doubt no more... God is for you. He has your best interests in mind. He is your protector, sustainer, provider, caretaker, and loving Heavenly Father. Even if you question His power... or face challenges and stresses that seem beyond your ability to handle them... God always knows what’s best for you. Stand strong knowing that even though you may not receive the prayer answer you’re expecting... He is listening. The response you get will always be the right one.... in the right time... and there is nothing on Earth that will be able to stand against you with the King of Kings in your corner.
Never give up... Keep going.
Never stop praying... He’s listening.
Never forget... God is for you.
And He always will be.
