Trusting God When You Can't See Any Reason
By Faith And Not By Sight
Does it sometimes feel like you just want to give up because you have been praying and there's absolutely no evidence that anything will ever change?
The Bible tells us that we are to live by faith not by sight. Jesus said that whatever we ask for in prayer we should believe that it has been received and we shall have it.
As difficult as it may be there will be many times when we cannot see the answers to prayers. There will be times when we simply have to believe without any physical evidence or confirmation that we have been heard. This is what it means to live by faith and not by sight.
I know that many people have turned away from God and left their faith behind because of unanswered prayer. Or I should probably say seemingly unanswered prayer because I believe that God always answers prayer and we must believe that even when we can't see it.
After returning from active duty, Roger Simms, was hitchhiking his way home late one night when he was picked up by a well dressed business man in a black Cadillac. The two men made small talk. The driver, Mr. Hanover said that he owned a business in Chicago. While they were talking, Roger felt led to witness to Mr. Hanover about Jesus Christ. Because he was nervous, he put it off most of the way until they were only thirty minutes or so from his destination. Unable to shake the feeling that he was to share Christ with this man Roger gave his testimony and explained the good news. The businessman was so moved that he pulled the car over to the side of the road and prayed to receive Christ.
Five years later, Roger who was now married with a child and a business of his own, was packing for a business trip to Chicago. While packing a suitcase he came across a business card that Mr. Hanover had given him that night in the car. He decided he would check in on Mr. Hanover. While in Chicago, he dropped in at Hanover Enterprises and asked to see Mr. Hanover. He was told by the receptionist that he would not be able to speak to Mr. Hanover but that he could see Mrs. Hanover.
After being taken into a beautiful office and offered a chair, Mrs. Hanover asked how Roger knew husband. Roger told her how her husband had given him a ride five years earlier when he was hitchhiking after the war. She asked him, “Can you tell me when I was?” He replied that he remembered the date well because it was the day he was discharged from the Army. “It was on May 7th. Why do you ask?” He replied. Before she had time to answer Roger went on, “Mrs. Hanover, I told Mr. Hanover about Jesus Christ that night and he pulled over his car over to the side of the road and became a Christian.
Mrs. Hanover started weeping and her entire body shaking as she sobbed. She said, “I pray for my husband’s salvation for years. I believed God would save him.” “Where is your husband?, said Roger. “He’s dead” said Mrs. Hanover. “He was in a car crash that night after he let you out of the car. He never made it home. All of this time I thought that God had not kept his promise.” Mrs. Hanover went on to explain how she had been bitter and angry with God for the last five years because she thought He had not kept his word.
Trust God. Live by faith not by sight. Step out of the boat even when the whole world tells you that you will sink. Start handing out the bread and the fish even though you have 5000 people to feed and only have 5 loaves of bread and two fish. Stand up for Christ who has promised you great reward in heaven even whern the world mocks you and says you are wasting your time. Believe that God has a plan even if you cannot see it and you can't even imagine what He could ever do to make things right again. Figuring out how what God could possible do isn't your job.
Believe God. As I have said before, many have criticized me for living by faith, for having another baby when my wife is sick, I am 47 years old and money is tight. They criticize me for spending so much time offering hope, love and the gospel to strangers when I should be working to support my famiy but I will tell you this. The same God who has cared for my every needs for these 47 years is th same God that will continue to care for my needs and He has never let me down. I would rather lose everything an die trusting God than living a pretend fake faith.
What have I to be afraid of anyway?
What have you to be afraid of?
For we know who our shepherd is.
The Bible describes Him as the One leading an army of mighty angels to deal out the wrath of Almighty God in flaming fire. He alone holds the keys to Death and Hades. He is the beginning and the end. Almighty God and Everlasting Father. King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
He is our Lord, elder brother and King, He is our friend. He is the one who promises "And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” (Matt 21:22)
Oh my dear brothers and sisters this is our God.
Jesus Christ, The incarnate son of the living God

I have faith in the Lord. And I ask him for the patience to be still and wait. I want my husband to return to our marriage. I pray that the Holy Spirit will take over my husband and open his heart and eyes. Thank you for the words of encouragement.

Wendy Alaniz I prayed for years for my ex husband to return. Instead He did the opposite. I have a better man and a dad to my son and everything that my husband stole from me I got paid back double for my troubles. I stood on the promise of rms 8-28. God may not give us what we think is good for us because He has better for us. Praying for your healing and strength in the Lord. He hears us and He sees us Amen Jesus 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I now after 45 years of being a believer, see no reason to trust God.My life is literally hell for years.majority of my time is in despair.suicide looks so enticing;but I have young children whom I love.where abraham was to trust god with the belief he was going to be given a child,he gets blamed for not trusting God even though he trusted for many years at such an old age,along with Sarah.I dont have his faith yet I reap the consequences for my unbelief.it is highly unfair that I am in my present state.I am very bitter.I know why it says in the new testament to not grow bitter.Because it is a logical conclusion to extreme circumstances, such as mine.I hope god can get his glory soon, then maybe he will look towards me again

Read the account in John 11 of the death of Lazarus. He and his two sisters were especially close to Jesus and he stayed at heir house frequently. So, when Lazarus grew seriously ill, Mary and Martha naturally assumed Jesus would come when they called and heal Lazarus. When He did not, they were hurt and devastated, especially Mary, so that when He DID arrive, Mary would not go out to Him from her hurt and anger. See what the Holy Spirit would say to you in this account. Jesus knew all along that in the midst of this terrible situation for this family, that He was going to perform an amazing miracle. But right up till the moment when He called Lazarus out of the tomb...it looked like total, complete failure, disappointment and heartbreak to those two girls who were trusting Him to come through for them. He didnt do it the way they wanted....so they were crushed. Instead He did exactly what the Word promises "He....is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or imagine" Ephesians 3:20 They wanted Lazarus made well, what they got was a miracle that we read about today, given to us that we might understand that He works greater things for us in the midst of our pain and fear. I know you are hurting badly....ask Him to give you the faith you need RIGHT NOW....He will. And surrender your heart's desire to Him in Trust. "Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean NOT on your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowledge Him and He WILL direct your path" Proverbs 3: 5-6 He is with you, He cares about EVERY detail of your life. I will pray for you and I'm sure many in this group will too. NEVER GIVE UP. You will not be put to shame for trusting God to come through for you in your circumstances no matter how hopeless it seems. You couldn't get any "deader" than Lazarus....to the Lord of Life NOTHING is impossible.

Luna the ONLY hope we all have is in our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. I know how hard it is to love your spouse and have them treat you as if you no longer exist. Is your husband Christian or Muslim? The Lord loves you both equally. But if your husband is muslim then GOD may be using this time apart from him to grow you in your faith so that you will be able to pray for your husband's salvation and that he would be able to bring you both back together. God is in control of everything that happens in our lives. He may not be the instigator of pain but He does allow it in order to grow closer to us and to build a deeper connection with us. He will NEVER leave you. You are not alone. Jesus is holding your hand right now. Rest in His Almighty Arms and know that He will work things out for your good and HIS glory. Just know everything will be accomplished in HIS perfect timing and that is the hardest part when your hurting is the wait. But know Jesus loves you and HE is with you and He is for you and your husband. God Bless you do not lose your faith or your HOPE. Romans 15:13 May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in BELEIVING that you are filled with hope by the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Hi Larry, I am sorry for your pain. But try looking back farther to see God's amazing love for you in what He has done. Look to what he has done on the cross. Jesus gave his life and suffered under all the holy wrath of God to restore your relationship with God and so that you might enjoy all that He is for all eternity. He is it because of his unfathomable love for you.

Oscar T - You'll see throughout the Bible that God rarely reveals his plans to us and we must live by faith. Abraham was told by God to "go to the land I will show you" And God didn't tell him where he was going but he started on the journey trusting God day by day. We do know there was a time when Abraham started to question the plan because God had promised him a son but it had been many years and there was still no evidence that God would deliver and so Abraham took matters into his own hand and slept with his servant girl. Ishmael was born and we know what problems that caused. If God has you in the dark about where he is taking you know that that has been the way of faith for all the people of God. You can trust him and he will be with you. Trust him. May God bless you.
Wow so God kept his word . Amazing God we serve

Wow, I can’t even begin to tell you how this is an answer to me. I was soooo close to giving up, so so close. I have only been trying to walk with Jesus since September. So I’m still growing into this. I was just thinking last night how I was a failure, and then I got mad at God for letting me be born knowing that I would be like this. My husband isn’t saved and our relationship is now awkward because I can’t indulge in the same things with him that I used to. Tv used to be our addiction together. We loved tv. We loved secular music and just having fun. Now I am trying to live a cleaner life. But I get upset and cry sometimes because I want my husband on my side, and I’m always afraid he’ll leave me. We have been best friends for 16 years. I keep praying for him. But I know I’m not doing a very good job for Jesus right now. So I’m not even sure he hears me.

Amanda, Thank you for sharing your heart. Your comments touched me and especially your fears whether Jesus hears you. I am going to upload a video for you today.
What you have said is true. Claim it as if you already got the answer. I lost my job end of April 2017. I prayed that I get accepted on a particular job/company since it is the one where my experience counts the most. I got an interview on Aug. 2017. I claimed and thanked God, having faith that I will get the job. After 8 weeks, I learned that I did not get the job. I continued to pray and asked for favor that a miracle will happen so that I will still be employed on that particular company. God is so faithful. Dec. 2017, I got an email from the manager who interviewed me last Aug and said that the position re-opened and he wanted me on-board. I started last Jan. 29, 2018. It was worth the wait. Praise and glory to God the Father, God the son and the Holy Spirit.

I please ask that you will pray for my family. We have been following Jesus with everything we have. I have endured loss of all things for Christ. I have had a lot in Jesus name and now have little doing what Jesus has asked of me. I have left mother, father, house, and every worldly matter for God. I have not done so because of what someone else said while twisting scripture but because of my calling from God himself and I wasn’t able to follow Him without doing so. My faith is suffering right now. I go from very high times in faith to looking at things in the human lens within 10 minutes of each other and it gets very scary and I start slipping. When my faith is high I am not worried about anything because I know our Heavenly Father loves and cares for us and He will never leave nor forsake us. If God does not part the Red Sea for us within a few days we will not make it. He is telling me to trust Him and I will not be disappointed. I have witnessed so many miracles that I feel like there is no reason to doubt now and feel I sin for doing so. It is very scary. I am just like Peter right now and when I think about it all, I sink. I am nothing without Jesus and I can’t fix any of this on my own. Jesus has led me to this very point I am at. I thank you for your video this evening. What I would do to have a friend like you to be near at this trying time. Please, brother, pray for us. May the Lord Jesus bless you for all you do.

Monica, Prayer can change people's will. God changes people’s wills in answer to prayer.That is why Paul wrote, "Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me, that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the saints." The implication is that the will of the unbelievers to hurt Paul and the will of the believers to disapprove Paul’s ministry are both in the power of God to change. There would be no point in praying for these two things if God could not do them. "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them." (Ezekiel 36:26-27)

Yeeeaaahhh I don’t know about this stuff anymore. I’m not saying this as some angry atheist either. I’m the kid of pastors. Grew up in the church. Tried to get to know god on my own. Know the Bible all of that. Could sit here and quote scripture all day. Used to pray relentlessly. Believed in miracles. All that bs. And you know what, I just don’t think I’m with it anymore. I’m convinced that either A. Gods not real B. God plays favorites (as some people’s prayers are answered and other people pray like fools only to never see things happen) C. Maybe it’s just me he doesn’t like. All day long I see “bad” people live nice lives and get the things they pray for without god. Would never acknowledge him. Don’t care about him. Hell, curse him. But they live great. And of course you have these so called pastors who I’ve defended for years who other people criticized even though I saw some of the problems in their teachings. I’ve prayed from sunup to sundown and never saw answers to my prayers. Why? This isn’t something I’m just saying. This is a decision 25 years in the making. Especially over the last year. Hell, I used to be terrified to make a comment like this because I was afraid I’d make god mad or it would delay my prayer even further or I’d ruin my chances of getting to heaven or whatever. I can tell you right now that in the last few days that I’ve stopped praying and believing I’ve felt better. I haven’t been as angry. Haven’t been under the pressure of feeling like everything bad that happens is my fault but that god will get around to me when he’s ready. I’m not even so sure I WANT to go to heaven anymore if there is such a place. If god doesn’t want anything to do with me here what the fuck makes me think he wants anything to do with me at any time? I remember wanting to kill myself this year. REALLY badly. I even asked god to do it for me if he cares about me. The only thing that stopped me was the fear of failing. Where was god then hmm? Where was he when I needed help? Where was he when I needed restoration? Where was he when I needed him for one damn time? Not when I was a kid sleeping in the car trying to go to school. Not when I saw all of my friends having fun right behind where I was staying homeless. Not when I had ptsd from all the times I had police officers knocking on my parents door kicking us out over and over again. Not when other kids biggest worries was what they’re going to wear to prom while mine was wondering if I’d eat today. But this time. This year. When I needed help. This time. Not like all the other times he ignored me and didn’t care. But this time when I really needed him to care. When I was wondering what rooftop looked best. When I was googling best ways to do it. I’m 25 fucking years old man. Been through shit this young that people who are 3 times my age have been through. And before none of it made me give up my faith. I always gave god the benefit of the doubt. Whoever god is he doesn’t care about me. He never has. He never rewards my faith. But he’s always made damn sure that I’m able to witness everyone else get the things that I pray for. But me? Nah. If god works for you man that’s great. Tell me how it feels to be one of the ones he actually likes. I’d love for god to prove me wrong man. I’d love for him to be all “wait I heard you all along it was just a misunderstanding” or whatever. But I don’t believe he will. Not anymore. My faith is no more.

I have suffered too and God's never helped me neither he seems to have favourites I no longer believe the bible is true cause of the hell I have suffered too. I really empathise with you its horrible it really is when he ignores you and helps others.

That post was amazing. Every single word seems true. Such a tragedy. This is why people toss their faith in the trash where it belongs if God refuses to help

If you are still alive write back. If not I assume you took your own life due to God failing you again
Please I have a very serious prayer that needs to be done I got married a long time ago and I was forced to divorce him because he forced me to divorce him he was on many drugs but the situation is I need him back he is my only man in my life that I've ever been with we have a family and everything together now this is broad she's married and she won't go away and leave him alone and he's allowing her to come around but she has a husband she needs to go to her husband and be a real wife to him and he needs to be a real husband to me in the eyes of God we are still married I have never been with another man in my tire life married or sexual he's been my only and my first and it's been many many years and I believe that God does not want me to let him go and he wants me to stay married to him in the eyes of God so please pray that this married woman stops seducing my husband or trying to or ex husband whatever you want to call him he's still in my eyes of God my husband please pray for me and help me to get her to leave them alone and stop seducing him. She's been married many times & cheated on all of them so like chain smoking from one to another before divorcing the other Mary cheat get with another one make a story about how that person's abusive so the other guy will feel sorry for takes her in and then she does it over and over and over so at least probably so please pray that she goes away 100% gets out of his life I wish I could talk to you privately to make more sense with this the bad part about it he's had other wives too I'm the first
Are you sure that's a true story?

Nope.
Believe and whatever we ask for we shall receive. The bible also says that we are to pray according to his will. "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." It says somewhere in the book that "this is how you should pray: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." I'm just typing this to help ppl out bc a lot of ppl n this world just toss up prayers like God is a bellboy, or a Jeanie. Then they wonder why it's never answered. I know the frustration of not having something answered. So I'm definitely not judging anyone. No way. But when we pray according to his will, the way it is written in his word, he'll answer. Maybe not right away and a person may have to go through some things before it's at their doorstep but he said that's his word and he cannot lie so that's what it is I guess. I hope this helps someone. Thanks for reading.

There are depressed suicidal people praying to God for help and He still fails and refuses to help. How heartless must He be?
Amen!!!
