When you face sickness, bad breaks, loss, that doesn’t mean you don’t have this distinction or you must not have enough faith. Not at all. The Scripture says in Matthew 5:45, “Rain falls on the just and the unjust.” There are times when difficulties will come. We’re praying and believing, but it didn’t work out our way. When it rains, don’t get discouraged, don’t give up on your dreams. God knows what He’s doing. If you’ll keep the right attitude, that rain is not going to hinder you; it’s going to cause you to blossom. The enemy may have meant it for your harm, but the reason God allowed it is so He can bring you out better than you were before.
