This is a message of encouragement to the Child of God who is going through trials.
Well, we have all had days when it seemed everything went wrong! In 1 Peter we read that trouble is not aways such a bad thing. Scripture: 1 Peter Denomination: Church Of God. Paul writes to the church of the Ephesians concerning the results of their faith: 1. They have the possibility to know Christ better. From the example of Moses, we can see that whatever God does and however He tests or refines us, His intention is to change and cleanse us, as well as to allow us to see His loveliness in trials and tribulations, so that we can finally know Him and be perfected by Him.
When a trial befalls us, we should first accept and obey this situation, and then quiet our hearts before God to pray and seek His will. This is an important principle of practice.
Therefore, it is very important for us to pray to God, seek the truth and grasp His will during trials. When Job was tried, his livestock was stolen and calamity befell his children, and he was transformed from a rich man possessed of great wealth to someone who had nothing overnight. Job, however, obeyed such a situation rationally and calmly.

But a position of faith says I believe God already did it. How does this happen? God has to become more real to me than everything that my physical senses tell me. The writer of Hebrews says, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
A lot of believers spend a lot of time in prayer asking God for things. Of all the things we ask of him, how many of those things are we actively believing for?
