We have to recognise our weakness without the power of God in our lives. Sometimes our words are ineffective because they are just our words, but we need to have faith in and use the Word of God in order to see the power of God at work in our situations!

Luke 8:23-25

The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm.  Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?” The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!”

God's power is accessible to all of us, we must read God's word in order for us to know who he is and who we are in God.

It is easy to lose heart when we are going through tough seasons and get discouraged when things do not seem to be working out. As believers you would think it is better for us when things are not working out, we have this confident hope that it’s all going to work out. However, I believe it’s easier said than done, naturally when things are not working out, we tend to seek answers and the ideal thing for us to do is to not worry but more often than not that is our first response. We have a head knowledge of faith but exercising faith is another thing altogether.

It is easy to lose heart when we are going through tough seasons and get discouraged when things do not seem to be working out. As non-believers, taking matters into your own hands becomes natural and when that does not work out, all sorts of problems follow, e.g. depression, anxiety, bitterness, and hopelessness. As believers you would think it is better for us when things are not working out, we have this confident hope that it’s all going to work out. We have a head knowledge of faith but exercising faith is another thing altogether.

God are you really for me? Maybe you have found yourself asking yourself this question. It can be hardships, trials, storms, past sins, bad habits or other reasons that make you question whether God is for you. However, scripture assures us that God will never leave us nor forsake us, His desire is to always be there for us, protecting and blessing us.

Roman8:31(NKJV) 

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us”

When we face tough situations and we are at our lowest points, it seems as if God is against us or he has left us. However, we must. understand that God is on our side and he is with us every step of the way.
