God sees us, understands our pain, and, honestly, knows more about the situation than we do. Let that sink in for a moment. So often, we think God doesn’t understand our situation, and that’s why we need to worry about it when the opposite is true. We don’t understand our situation.

When we find ourselves in difficult situations that we don’t understand, the best thing we can do is ask God for understanding and help for the things we don’t understand.

God can give us a different perspective on everything. He can help us see things in ways we would have never considered before. God can see every angle of our problem. He knows our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We can’t lie to Him or hide things.

But we do lie to ourselves.

We believe lies and accept them as our truth. We focus so intently on the problems that we fail to see the solutions. Amid the pain and uncertainty of it all, we believe it is impossible for us. So, we think of thoughts of doom and gloom. The enemy tries to direct us to the worst-case scenario.

He tries to get us to doubt the Lord with every trick and scheme. When we doubt God, we think hopeless thoughts and feel helpless.

However, there is great power in FAITH. Faith asks us to believe in the things we HOPE for but can’t yet see. Faith asks us to TRUST God.

Sweet friends, God has never let me down. All things have worked out for my good, even the really hard moments that broke me. God was there. He helped me take the pain and use it in a beautiful way. Pain humbles us. It helps me get to a great place to pray and grow.

Something beautiful happens when I can let go of my thoughts and fears and trust God. We become closer. He shows me things and helps me with my struggles. God might not always change my situation, but He can help me change my thoughts about it, and that relieves the pain.
