Over the past month, I have really come to better understand what it truly means to have "Unshakeable faith". Faith is not just believing in God and believing that He is with us when we feel the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Faith–Unshakeable faith–is believing and trusting in God when you don't feel close to Him at all. You may be living a healthy lifestyle, tithing, giving generously and setting aside daily quiet time with God, and yet you still feel distant from Him. This is not to say that He is not there, but sometimes God challenges us with silence and unanswered questions and feelings in order to strengthen our faith and our relationship with Him.
I know that some of you are still struggling to get the support you need for your trip. You might be feeling weary and overwhelmed that God has not provided the money for you yet. But I would ask that you continue to pray and continue to trust Him. He won't just hand it to you on a silver platter, however if you are out there trying to raise it, He WILL provide for you. It may just be in the nick of time, but He will provide.
If there is anything I have learned through my walk with Christ thus far, it is that He always comes through, usually just in time so that His Glory may shine. Remember not to forget to thank Him for what He has provided you with thus far, and TRUST in Him. Do not worry or become weary. Trust that HE WILL PROVIDE.
Hebrews 11:1 — Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see
Galatians 6:9 — Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up
