Resilient Faith!

Psalm 71: 20
You who have shown me many troubles, and distresses will revive me again, and will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

I’m sure most of you are just like me.
You get constant reports of people going through various kinds of troubles.

Death of loved ones and pets—wayward children—troubled marriages—sickness and health issues.
There are times that when prayer requests come my way, I’m not even sure how to pray.

I know of a local family, who had five loved one’s die tragically.
Etched on each tomb stone are the words… "We cannot, Lord, Thy purpose see, but all is well that's done by Thee."

How did this family respond to the toughest times of life?
They had a resilient faith in God.

Is that where you are today?
Are you confident in a God who promises revival?

Maybe you need to do something about your weak faith.
From the depths of the earth—God brings us up again from troubled times.

Stop and pray to God this morning, for the grace to get you through your personal trouble.

Maybe then you’ll be able to pray those words etched on those tombstones
