Many Christians chastise themselves when bad things
happen because they think that God would have answered their prayers
if only they had more faith. A child wouldn't have died, cancer would
have been healed, a job wouldn't have been lost, and so on.
They reason that they just didn't pray hard enough.
Once a person starts reasoning like that, they take on the burden of
responsibility for the bad things that happen in life. The next step
is guilt! This is a dangerous slippery slope! Satan loves this because
it takes the blame off of him, but the truth is, bad things are the
result of sin, and Satan is the originator of sin!
God doesn't command perfect faith before working
miracles in our lives. When you pray God always, hears, AND answers.
You may not receive the answer instantly, or the way you want it, but
He does answer! And you can trust that He always does what is best for
us! If you're struggling with guilt or doubt, pray "Lord, I believe;
help my unbelief."
