Pray for True Belief {31 Days}

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. – Romans 8:28

Do you really believe that your infertility will be used for your good? Do you believe that He uses everything- including the tragedies, the atrocities, and the sorrows- for the good of His people? I believe it in my head, but when I turn on the news or make yet another visit to the specialist, I often have trouble believing it in my heart.

If I really believed that what Satan means for evil, God will use for my good, my life would probably look a lot different. I’d be so secure in God’s promise that the anxieties, fears, and doubts I struggle with would never threaten to unhinge me. I would rest securely and peacefully in God’s plan and sovereignty.

If we really believed this one promise, all the other things we’re praying for during these 31 days would come a lot easier, wouldn’t they?

I’m praying that God would allow this promise to sink deep down into our souls. That we would believe it with our hearts, heads, and every ounce of our beings. Will you pray that today with me, too?

*For an excellent sermon on this verse, see John Piper’s sermon entitled, “Called According to His Purpose.”
