When times get really tough, it can cause our faith to waver a little and we begin to doubt God. But it is very important that we hold on to faith and not give in to our fears especially in difficult times.
The best way to keep the faith and our trust in God is to remind ourselves of His promises for us. That is why it is very important to read your Bible in such difficult times.
These faith Bible verses are to help you draw closer to God in these times. And to remind you of His love and His promises for those who abide and trust in Him completely.
What are you afraid of?
Every now and then, something happens in life that scares us. When this happens, our faith waver as we worry more about our problems.
When you concentrate on how many problems you have, you begin to lose any assurance that your problems will ever go away and that even scares you more.
And once you let fear in, you start losing faith. Fear shuts you down and stops you from going forward and fighting the good fight.
So it is very important to focus more on God and draw closer to Him. That way your faith in Him will keep growing stronger, because once you believe in Him, everything is possible.
Have faith, because God is at work even when you can’t see. When things look dark, remember, it’s always darkest just before the dawn appears. Your path is going to shine brighter and brighter until the new day has come.(Proverbs 4:18)
He sees you, He knows you, He sees what you are going through and if you believe in Him and trust His timing, He will make everything beautiful in your life. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
