Have you ever been in a situation where it seems like suddenly, everything that you've believed in, is not working? You seem to be hit from all sides. Your faith, which once moved mountains, seems to be failing hopelessly. You may even feel, at times, as though the Lord doesn't care for you; and has forsaken you.
I think almost everyone, at some point in their walk, has felt this way. When you find yourself in a position like this, don’t doubt the Lord. Trust in Him, and know that He has not forsaken you. Have you ever cried, “Oh, Lord, increase my faith?” Well, greater faith requires greater testing, and now the Lord is giving you a chance for greater promotion in His Kingdom. I know ain't is not a word, but "ain’t GOD good?"
The only way for your faith to grow and get stronger, is through stretching and exercising your faith muscles, to the utmost. The same way we exercise our physical bodies to whip them back into shape; we must do the same things to strengthen our faith, and increase our faith muscles. Our faith muscles will become soft if they don’t have any work to do. Therefore, the Lord will allow tests to enter our lives, so that we can exercise those faith muscles; to keep them working at peak performance.
You know the saying, “There can’t be a testimony without a test."
So, the Lord is preparing us for a glorious testimony that will draw us closer to Him, and increase our faith.
I know it may seem like the more you dig in your heels, the attacks become more intense, and you wonder if you're ever going to survive this test. However, we will pass the test if we keep working those faith muscles, and don't give up. If we continue to press our way, we will get our breakthrough, and then we will see how much stronger our faith has become in the Lord.

Hear what God says:
My Child,
I am the Lord of all.
I created all things.
All things exist because I permit them to exist, for My purposes.
Even the difficult situation you find yourself in right now, exists because I have allowed it. Nothing happens to you without My permission, and this current trial has a purpose; it’s increasing your faith.
Therefore, bring your hardships to Me and stay prayerful.
Keep your faith high, and stop stressing
because you can’t see how this can lead to victory.
Your job is to pray without ceasing, have faith and trust Me.
My job is to bring it to pass.
Now, be of good courage, exercise your faith
and watch Me do the impossible in your life.
