Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.11.1.NKJV
To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.
Hebrews 11:1 GNT

It's that time of the year again. The time when we look back on the past couple of months and more often than not, the devil exaggerates all the things we attempted that didn't work out and all the things we planned to achieve that from the look of things now are not even feasible in the coming year.
Well..let me encourage you and myself alike to keep hope alive. To hold on to Faith. Faith isn't going to take away the pain or anxiety. It's not medicine that will make you feel better immediately. Faith doesn't mean you should deny how you are feeling about the situation or pretend like everything is okay. It doesn't mean you should downplay your disappointment. It's very okay to be disappointed. What Faith does is help you not be defined by this disappointment. This is the true essence of Faith.
After all, faith will be useless if we had evidence of those things we've been praying for all year round. Don't you think? All in all, no matter how bleak the future of those desires look now or how impossible it seems for your testimony to manifest this year, don't give up. Even the father of Faith, Abraham had to wait on God. Praise Him even when you don't feel like. Exercise your Faith in God. He'll come through for you!! Best believe...las las, all of we go dey alright (in the end we'll all be fine).
