Faith Believers,
GOD tells us to give our concerns to Him.
Even as the situation remains dismal, "Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7. The circumstances may look out of control, but they aren't. When the whole world seems to be falling apart, GOD can keep us together. When a person is very grateful, despite circumstances or situations, that is one indication that they know GOD.
"The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to GOD. And the peace of GOD, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6. GOD may provide solutions, even resolutions to the problem far beyond what you imagined possible. Probably any Christian could list many examples in their own lives. But if the circumstances do not improve, GOD can still give us His Peace in the midst of the storms.
Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." - John 14:27.
It is at this moment, when circumstances are still tough, that GOD asks us to continue to trust Him -- to "walk by faith, not by sight - 2 Corinthians 5:7. But let's be clear, it is not blind faith. It is Faith that is based on the very character of GOD. A car traveling on the Golden Gate Bridge is fully supported by the integrity of the bridge. It doesn't matter what the driver may be feeling, or thinking about, or discussing with someone in the passenger seat.
What gets the car safely to the other side
is the integrity of the bridge,
which the driver was willing to trust.

In the same way, GOD asks us to trust His integrity, His character... His compassion, love, wisdom and righteousness on our behalf. He says, "I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you." - Jeremiah 31:3 and "Trust in him at all times, O people. Pour out your heart before him. GOD is a refuge for us" - Psalm 62:8.
Trust God for what you Have,
Ask God for what you Need.
