Mark 4:35
When hardships come our way, do we respond, "God, I trust You to bring me through this"? Or do we tend to say, "I am doomed, and there's nothing anybody can do"?
God has given to each one of us a measure of faith (Romans 12:3), and He expects us to use it to overcome our fear. Fear always accompanies adversity; in fact, a degree of fear is what makes something an adversity instead of just another experience. Fear causes us to project the very worst that can happen--that we will never recover, that all hope is lost.
Faith tells the opposite story. Faith says that God is in control and that all things work together for our good (Roman's 8:28). Faith says that we will recover, and that there is hope.
Trusting God means looking beyond what we can see to what God sees.
We learn more in our mountain experiences than on our mountaintops
Faith says God is in control
