Will you still believe in God even if you can’t Hear the Answers to your Questions?
Faith begins the moment you choose to stay with Him, even if you can’t understand what’s happening. It is not about knowing all the answers, but it’s all about believing in God’s promises, even if you can’t see them yet.
