Day 2: Our Faith, His Will

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know every prayer would result in a “yes” from God, especially concerning healing? Yet as we walk with Him, we learn that faith and His will work in harmony. This can be difficult to understand, but it can also deepen our trust in Him.

Faith and Healing

The Bible teaches that faith is vital in receiving healing. Jesus spoke of faith as small as a mustard seed having the power to move mountains. We are encouraged to believe without doubt and to ask boldly, trusting God’s ability to intervene.

At the same time, Scripture emphasizes aligning our prayers with His will. Abiding in Him, walking in obedience, and trusting His greater purposes are all part of that process.

Faith and God’s Will

Faith is powerful, yet it’s not about bending God’s will to match ours. It’s about aligning our hearts with His perfect plan for us. That’s the hard part: surrendering the outcome to His wisdom and timing. We may not always know God’s specific plan for every situation, but we can trust that He is good. When our faith in His power intersects with His perfect will, miracles can happen.

What Should We Do?

Keep praying. Keep asking. The Lord invites you to cast all your anxiety on Him, pour out your heart to Him, and ask for what you need and want. So, keep asking, dear one. Keep running to the Lord, pouring your heart out to Him. Keep trusting Him and making His strong and loving presence your refuge and strength.

He loves you with an overflowing love. He longs to comfort you and give you strength. He is a God who heals, and He tells us to ask. So, keep waiting on Him, keep discovering Him, and see what He will do for you.

Prayer

Lord, I bring my prayers to You in faith, trusting Your power and Your will. Help me to rest in Your love and to trust You through uncertainty. Teach me to abide in Your presence and find strength in Your unchanging goodness.

Encouragement

Dear one, keep running to God. He is your refuge and strength. His love never fails, and He is present with you in every moment. Trust Him to guide you, carry you, and work all things together for your good.
