In this article, we will
be discussing about a prayer that encourages believers to always trust in God
that one day, things going through now will be a thing of the past.

Sometime the troubles of
this world make one to wonder whether God still answer prayers. But the answer
to their question is that God always answer prayer. Because the Bible assured
that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. Hebrews 13:8 (New International Version,
NIV).
With the above
assurance, we are bold to say that whatever
we are passing through now, is just for a moment and one day our God will
surely answer us. That is our hope and confident in our Lord and Jesus
Christ our Savior through which is the foundation of our faith.
In view of these
assurances, we labelled some Bibles verses to keep our hope alive and to
continue building our hope in God. He has also promised us that: “But blessed is the one who trusts in the
LORD, whose confidence is in Him. Jeremiah 17:7 (NIV).”
Why can’t we put our
trust in our Maker since He has assured us from His Word?
Let always pray to God
to gives us the Spirit of endurance so that we will believe and trust in Him
and never to trust any chariots or mammon. Even though God answers prayers from
His own perspective because He sees the future while we see the physical. He
has always promised us that: “For I know
the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV).
Since He knows the plans
He have for us, why are so worried about this world and the perishing things of
this world? God gives us the grace to be contended and to always trust you for
your will. And to always trust Him in our prayers that let His will be done in
our request and not our will.

Micah as encouragement for any situation we found ourselves. The prayers will

From the above versions
of the Holy Scriptures, that means whatever you’re passing through, God is in
control and will surely come to your rescue. Either you are the cause (through
sin) or someone is responsible for it or Satan itself (Job 2:1-7).
Now, from the verses we
have read so far, we are confident that our God is a listening God that meet us
at the point of our need. In His own time and will. As believers, we are always
encouraged to pray and in our prayer, we are to ask God for His will to be done
(1 John 5:14-15).
