Just as Elijah trusted God for fire to fall from heaven, we, also, must trust God to answer the prayers that we have prayed. Faith is taking God at His Word and waiting while He fulfills His purpose in His time. Though we do not know how He will answer or what His response will involve, God always replies. Our faith must rest in God's love, grace, and wisdom. Faith is believing God.
Faith looks beyond the physical world into what is invisible and eternal.
Faith that rests on visible evidence is not faith at all. Faith must be more than an abstract belief in God's willingness and ability to do things for you. Your faith can withstand the strongest doubts and unbelief when you are assured of God's loving answers to your petitions. Coming before the Lord with a genuine desire to know Him is the first step to a greater and closer spiritual walk with the Lord. Through our faith, we have ease of mind and peace in our hearts.
