Faith Shaken?

Years ago, I received a call that shook the very essence of my faith. It made me question God in ways I had never questioned HIM before. Why wasn’t my prayer answered when I wanted it to be? There were hundreds of people on one accord praying the same thing; for my Pastor’s healing.

Thinking back……The congregation stood still as our Pastor stood in front of the entire church an announced he had received news a while back that he had cancer. The tears flowed down my eyes as I called my hubby to be and shared the devastating news with him. We couldn’t believe it, BUT after getting over the initial shock, we began to pray and believe. My husband gave the most “powerful” pray at our wedding for our Pastor. I believed with all my heart that he would be healed.

Fast forward, an emergency prayer was called and we prayed, prayed, and prayed……Around 9:00 that evening as we were still in prayer, Pastor Dean came walking up to the front podium and announced that our Pastor had made his transition into heaven.

I was 21 years old, and I remember having so many questions…. so many whys…. so many tears. We were taught to pray, to speak life, to speak things into existence, and I DID! GOD, why wasn’t my prayer answered!!!!?????

Have you ever been in a place where you’ve questioned God? Well, you’re not alone. Over the years I’ve learned that my ways are not God’s ways, neither are my thoughts his thoughts. We may experience life altering events that will cause us to question God, but one thing is for sure….. God has a plan for our lives and He knows what’s best, even though we may not always understand….

I have to trust Him in EVERY area of my life, even when I don’t understand my current circumstances. What about you?? Will you trust HIM?

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 ESV
