Faith is not believing that God will make things work out the way that we want or would like. Faith is accepting and believing that God will turn any and every situation to good and will ultimately bring Him more glory and be better for us than anything we could devise ourselves. It is remembering that it is not about us but about Him, but that because of His great love for us, whatever He allows in our life will ultimately bring us closer to Him and make us more like Him if we cling to Him despite our circumstances, turn to Him rather than away when things get hard and scary, and align our will with His.
Lord, even when I face things that frighten me and look like disasters, help me follow Your example from the Garden of Gethsemane and say not my will but Yours be done. Help me to remember that Your plan is always good and better than my ideas, but that sometimes the pain of the cross must come before the victory of the resurrection.
