A prayer for trusting God in hard times by Debbie Prisbilski.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be

discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go

Joshua 1.9

We all want God to answer our prayers. We believe in the power of prayer, but when it comes down to our

own individual lives and our own problems, we often don't have the faith to believe God will

answer. The times we are living in are difficult.

We are often trapped by our unbelief and fear, but God is preparing us for the end time

harvest. He wants to enlarge our territory. He wants to bless us with

increase because his nature is to care and bestow divine favor on us. We are the ones who limit him because of our lack of trust and our

fear of stepping out in faith. The truth is that the things we do for God

should be outside of our own ability and should be trusting in his supernatural ability.

When we back away from dependence and trust in God, we are not living by faith. He wants us to trust and obey his word. He wants

us to be strong and courageous. We need to be willing to tempt things big enough that unless God steps in, we are sure to fail.

This is the kind of trust and dependence he is looking for in our life.

We need not be shaken. He can break through every obstacle. He is the

God of the impossible. Lord I thank you that you are the God of the impossible. You can do anything. I want to trust in your ability and not my own.
