Recently, we had an SGL decide to do exactly that. It was a very treatable cancer. Still, the road ahead was sure to be bumpy. But as an SGL of elementary school boys, he knew how delicate sharing personal information could be. So he discussed with a few staff members how and when to share the news with discernment and appropriateness. His intent was not to get sympathy. He was not looking for more prayers, or needing a place to vent.
His only purpose was to provide his few boys with a clear picture of what it looks like to trust God no matter what. A few weeks later, I got an email from him letting me know how it went. This was the conversation between the SGL and his few: When I was a little boy, about your age, I remember sitting in church hearing about Jesus. God had told Habakkuk about the coming invasion by the Babylonians. God had described the arrogance, violence, and cruelty of these invaders in chilling detail. God also told Habakkuk about the great and awesome judgments he would bring upon Babylon and indeed upon all the nations of the earth that refuse to submit to God.

Habakkuk may even have seen all this in a vision. And Habakkuk is terrified at what will soon take place.

His heart pounds in his chest, his lips quiver, he feels physically weak and hardly able to stand. This is Fear Factor multiplied by a hundred and ten. Tomorrow marks the five-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, The purpose of terrorism is not just to cause damage and harm but to cause fear.
And sadly it works. Five years later, I still brace myself sometimes before turning on the news. He was deathly afraid, and his fear affected him on a deep and even physical level. How do you deal with extreme fear?

Trusting God no matter what!
Habakkuk says to wait patiently for God even when you are afraid. Look at the second half of verse There was no stopping that. It was going to happen. But God had also assured Habakkuk that he would judge the Babylonians for their sin, and that he would ultimately deliver his people. And so in the midst of his fears, Habakkuk chose to wait patiently for God. It is the same word we find in the narratives about the Promised Land where God promised to give the Israelites rest from their enemies in the land.
Here Habakkuk determines to wait patiently during this time of trial, to rest himself in the Lord. God promises to give us his peace when we give our worries and fears to him. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. How do you exercise faith during the worst of times? Wait patiently for the Lord even when you are afraid. Rest yourself in God.

Choose to rejoice in God even when everything in life goes wrong. A second thing you can do is choose to rejoice in God even when everything in life goes wrong. Look at verses I am working through a Scripture memory program right now, and this is one of the passages that I hit at the beginning of the summer. It was such a beautiful passage to memorize and to meditate on, and God used it among other things to direct me to preach this series on Habakkuk.
These verses represent one of the strongest expressions of faith you will find in the whole Bible as Habakkuk determines to rejoice in God even when everything else in life goes wrong. The first scenario is this: They are a symbol of hopes to come. It is just a blossom, just a flower, and yet it is a tangible sign that the figs and the grapes are coming.
But in this scenario there are no signs for the future. The fig tree does not bud.

There are no grapes on the vine. There is no visible sign that these things will ever come to be. Do you have hopes and dreams for the future, but no visible signs that they will ever come to fruition? And Habakkuk would tell you, when you have nothing to hold on to for the future, hold on to God, and that will be enough. Habakkuk says, trust God no matter what. I will be joyful in God my Savior.
The second scenario is this: They are a symbol of your present means. But in this scenario what you are trusting lets you down. The olive crop fails. Look at it like this, God is your personal trainer, constantly stretching you to your optimal potential. But be of good cheer, I came to encourage you.
Trusting God No Matter What | Faith Church
The bible says in Proverbs 3: Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. I found great comfort in the verse knowing that if I trust God and not try to figure things out myself, He will work it out. One of the hardest lessons I had to learn was understanding that God is an unorthodox being and His methods are too.
Meaning a lot of times we may not see Him working on our behalf but He is always there. Once we fully understand that we can trust Him at his Word.
Everything that He promised must come to past. People have searched for years to find where God has not kept His word and not one person can prove Him wrong. We have put trust in man, and man has failed us. But God our Almighty Father has never not kept His word. If you think back about the Israelites and when they came to the Red Sea, they had no clue that God was going to divide the sea.
