It’s natural to ask, why me? Why now? Though this answer often feels unsatisfying at first, it’s not always up to us to understand God’s plan. And relying on our faith doesn’t mean we don’t suffer or feel pain, but it does provide solace and strength in knowing that we are cared for in ways unseen and unknown.
Faith also helps us when supporting others who are going through a difficult time, giving us the perspective and empathy to care for and lift them back up. What’s true is this: no suffering is in vain when you have true faith.
What is Faith?
Put simply, faith is believing in God and trusting in His plan, even when you don’t understand it and can’t see it. As it applies to our life, however, faith is about more than just a feeling, it’s about living it. We live our faith through obedience to God and acts of service.
When looking for ways to capture and live in faith, the best resource for direction is the Bible.
