“If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” - Romans 8:31b
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. Doubt makes us feel helpless, hopeless, and alone. 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 for me to “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: God is for you. Hear that one more time... God is for you. He has your best interests in mind. Even when we doubt His power... especially when we face challenges and stresses that seem to be beyond our ability to handle them. God always knows what’s best for you. He is FOR you. There is nothing that can stand against you because He knows what you need and He knows when you’ll need it. Stand strong against doubt today... knowing that even though we may not get the answer we’re expecting it will be the right one.... in the right time... and there is nothing on this Earth that will be able to stand against you when you lean on God.
