Hey there! CJ McKay here. Have you ever been believing God for something and you feel like man, I’ve been believing for so long and it hasn’t happened. I don’t know if I have any more faith left to believe. Keep in mind these words from Joseph Prince: he says that the faith walk isn’t hard, it’s easy and effortless. When your faith runs out, just judge God faithful. When you don’t know how to have faith anymore, reckon on his faithfulness. Don’t give up because you think you don’t have enough faith. Once God gives you a promise, it’s not up to you to conjure up faith. It’s for you to rest in the One who promised that He is faithful.

“When your faith runs out, just judge God faithful.”

Sometimes you don’t know why you’ve got a question mark in your life. I remember a time I got hit with a job loss, a relative who I really loved passed away, and then medical issues cropped up all in a short amount of time. And I just was wondering, why Lord is this going on? But you know what? God brought me through all of that. And I learned that an exclamation point is simply a question mark that’s been straightened out. I learned that if I want God to turn my question marks into an exclamation point, then all I’ve got to do is trust Him.

For you are my rock and my fortress; and for your name’s sake you lead me and guide me; you take me out of the net they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge. Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.

Psalm 31.3-5

You know, sometimes when we pray for something, we get the answer quickly, but sometimes we have to wait and wait and wait. And I don’t know about you, but patience is not exactly my strong suit. It’s not a very pleasant thing to wait, is it? But you know what? That waiting is all part of God’s process. He’s working out that situation to perfection. So instead of asking, “why is this taking so long?” Maybe our attitude instead should be, “God, I thank you for working this out perfectly. And I thank you that what You promised is on the way.”

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens

Ecclesiastes 3.1

This is something we all should do from time to time. Especially in life, when things are rough. Take some time to look back over your life and contemplate all the times God was good to you. I mean the times where He made a way when you didn’t see a way, He brought you to the right place at the right time so that you were blessed. Your health didn’t look good, but somehow He turned that around. Maybe you made mistakes that should have held you back, but God and His mercy covered you and brought you to a really nice place in life. So yeah, from time to time, let’s look back over our lives and contemplate God’s goodness.

I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness.

Psalm 145:5-7
