Message:
Do you believe that God is good all the time? This is a profound question that challenges us to reflect on our faith and understanding of divine goodness. Life often presents us with trials and tribulations that can shake our belief in God’s goodness. In moments of difficulty, it is easy to question whether God is truly good. Yet, Scripture assures us of His unwavering goodness, regardless of our circumstances. The beauty of faith lies in trusting that God’s plans exceed our understanding and that His goodness is constant, even in the shadows of our struggles. Carrying this belief enhances our resilience and shapes our perspective, opening our hearts to His love and guidance.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You today with a heart full of questions and a spirit yearning for assurance. In the midst of life’s challenges, I sometimes struggle to comprehend the depth of Your goodness. Teach me to see Your grace in every situation, even when circumstances appear bleak. I acknowledge that Your ways are higher than my ways, and Your thoughts surpass my thoughts. Help me to understand that true faith is not merely believing in Your goodness when life is easy but trusting in Your character during the storms. Remind me that Your love is everlasting and that You are present in my hardships.
Lord, when doubt creeps into my heart, I pray for wisdom to remember the countless times You have been faithful to me. When I face uncertainty, guide me to cling to the truth found in Your Word, which declares that You are good and Your mercy endures forever. Empower me to share this assurance with others, to be a beacon of hope in a world often clouded by despair. Open my eyes to recognize the blessings that surround me daily, even in small, seemingly insignificant moments. Let my testimony be a reflection of Your goodness and mercy.
Teach me not to rely solely on my understanding but to embrace the mystery of Your divine plan. May Your peace guard my heart and mind, dispelling fear and doubt as I navigate through life. Instill in me a deep-rooted faith that acknowledges Your goodness in every season. Lord, I trust that You are working all things together for my good. Help me to live out the belief that You are good all the time, so I can inspire others to seek and experience Your love. Thank You for Your unwavering presence and for the assurance that I am never alone. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Ruth
