Just believe

Greetings:
Sometimes just finding five minutes for God seems like a chore. Sometimes devotions do not really seem like devotion but work.
Sometimes our faith does grow weak because our time with God is not where it needs to be. During times of doubt, we can feel that it is difficult to have faith.
Where is God in our difficulty?
How can we increase our faith when we see no evidence for it?
God’s Word remains the solid rock that we need when we're surrounded in this world by sin, trouble, and doubt. God's Word provides an armor of protection and helps our faith weapons to grow in size, caliber, and fire-power.
Is God still God in the hard times just like He is in the good times?
Hard times are exactly that — hard.  But how we approach those hard periods in our lives determines whether we’ll just survive, thrive or sink altogether.
Fear is the believer's greatest enemy. When a believer has fear, he cannot have believing faith.
Fear paralyzes, frustrates and cripples us into indecision and no action. Fear involves torment as in 1 John 4:18 where it states, “Fear is the prison of the heart.”
Trusting God in hard times requires refusing to be frightened, refusing to be immobilized, refusing to panic and learning to stand firm on God's Word.
The times in my life when the biggest storms struck, it was by faith and trusting God that I emerged.
God didn't promise us smooth sailing, but he did promise to be with us at all times.
Faith is not a gimmick. Faith is not found within the will, sight and understanding of our human mind.
Have the faith of a little child and just believe.
Be blessed.
