About this listen
How many times in life have we as humans felt that we are working towards something and making little to no visible progress?
I know that, being a graduate school student, I have felt this plenty of times, going through two thesis changes and working a job 20 hours a week on top of my course load.
However, while we may not see it, progress is not always visible. We could be making leaps and bounds towards our desired outcome that others may see, but we may not.
Much like dealing with our faith and remaining strong in prayer, we may not see results right away, but as this verse mentions, our faith is the CONFIDENCE in what we hope for and the ASSURANCE for what we do not see.
Much like striving for academic success and long-term goals, our faith journeys may not always have visible progress, yet as we know, if we remain steadfast and strong in prayer and have confidence in our faith and abilities, there is assurance that the best is yet to come on both fronts.
Let’s pray:God, while we may be impatient as progress is not always linear or visible, help us to remember that through our faith, we can have confidence and assurance in our desired outcomes. Forgive us for our impatience and help us to remain forever faithful and confident, even if our progress may not always be visible. Amen.
