This bible plan was created by Nicky and Pippa Gumbal.

Prayer of The Day:

Lord, in times of struggle and uncertainty, help me to trust in your faithfulness. When I cry out, "How long, O Lord?", remind me that you hear my prayers and are always at work. Fill me with your Spirit so that I may continue to pray, trust, rejoice, and worship you even in difficult times. Strengthen my heart and guide my steps as I put my hope in you.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Trusting God in Difficult Times

At some point in life, we all find ourselves asking, "How long, O Lord?" How long will we face challenges, struggles, and disappointments? The Bible shows us that even David, a man after God’s own heart, cried out in desperation, yet he continued to trust in God’s goodness (Psalm 13:1–6). His example teaches us how to navigate difficult seasons with faith and perseverance.

Biblical Foundations for Trusting God in Hard Times

1. Keep Praying

Read: (Psalm 13:1–6)

• Key Message: Even when God seems distant, we must continue to cry out to Him (v.3). Prayer keeps us connected to His presence.

• Outcomes: God hears our prayers and answers in His perfect timing.

• Application: Don’t give up praying, even when the answers seem delayed.

Action Steps:

1. Set aside daily time to pray, even when you don’t feel like it.

2. Keep a prayer journal to record your requests and God’s answers.

   
   

2.  Keep Trusting

Read: (Matthew 15:10–39)

• Key Message: Delay does not mean denial. God’s promises remain true even when we don’t see immediate results.

• Outcomes: Trusting in God’s unfailing love sustains us during trials (v.5).

• Application: Strengthen your faith by remembering past victories.

3. Keep Hoping

Read (Genesis 43:1–44:34):

• Key Message: God is always working, even when we can’t see it.

• Outcomes: His plans for us are greater than our present struggles.

• Application: Surrender your situation to God and trust His perfect plan

Conclusion:

When we find ourselves asking, "How long, O Lord?", let us remember to keep praying, trusting, rejoicing, worshipping, and hoping. God hears us, He is working, and He will bring us through. As we lean on Him, we will one day look back and say, "The Lord has been good to me" (Psalm 13:6).

Lord, help me to trust in your perfect timing. Strengthen my faith so that I may persevere in prayer, find joy in worship, and put my hope in you. Amen.
