“Faith is not about everything turning out okay. Faith is about being okay no matter how things turn out.”

Faith does not mean that every prayer will be answered the way we hoped. It does not mean every door will open, every sickness will disappear, or every difficult season will end quickly.

Faith means that even when life does not turn out the way we planned, we still trust the One who holds our lives in His hands.

Romans 8:28 reminds us, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God.”

Notice that the Bible does not say all things are good. Some things hurt. Some things disappoint us. Some things leave us with questions we cannot answer. But God can take every broken piece, every unexpected turn, and every painful chapter and work it together for our good and His glory.

You may not be okay with what happened, but because God is with you, you are going to be okay.

Your peace does not come from knowing how everything will turn out. Your peace comes from knowing that God will never leave you, never forsake you, and never stop working on your behalf.

So take a deep breath, place your situation in God’s hands, and trust Him with the outcome.

God has you and you have this, whatever this is!
