How do I trust God when things are hard?

Today, I sense a kindred spirit in Job. As I read this morning, I was reminded of the dearest gift of my prayer warriors and the recognition of the greatness of God-who am I to question His power or His plans? Job reminds us that not all that happens in life is cause and effect but that there is peace when you trust in God-even in the hardest days. I sit here questioning why things are happening and realizing that I may never know the why. This is not for me to “fix”, no matter how hard the day may seem, I am not standing alone. God still has me-when all else feels taken away, He has never left. Job finally receives blessings twice the level of what he had before. Even after Job had gone through all his troubles, God comes to Him and Job responds “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted” (Job 42: 2, NIV). What a way to glorify God to see the turn in the life of Job. Time and again I remind myself in my prayer that it is not for my earthly needs and desires but for the Glory of God. Who am I to not trust in God in the hard days?
