Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. Romans 4:20-21
Dear God, Help my unbelief. When I’m in pain, I forget that you care about me. I forget that you have helped me through my trials. I forget that you hold me in your arms to keep me safe. I forget that you are feeling my pain with me. I forget that you love me, I forget that I am important to you. Show me your presence – let me feel your enveloping love. Heal my hurting soul. Thank you for staying with me even in my unbelief. Timothy Dailey

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8
In all His dispensations God is at work for our good. In prosperity He tries our gratitude; in mediocrity, our contentment; in misfortune, our submission; in darkness, our faith; under temptation, our steadfastness; and at all times, our obedience and trust in Him. Anonymous

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
God will not lose heart! From creation to now, God has never given up on his stubborn, rebellious children and He never will. He is constantly loving, constantly caring, constantly creating ways to remind us that He is there and He is aware, achingly aware of our hearts and our desperate need for Him. He sent His Son, a sign of his utter, total, reckless heart of love that would do anything to woo us back into His arms. K Walden

Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his ; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations . Psalm 100:3-5
On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence. WilliamJenningsBryan

Even while these people were worshiping the LORD, they were serving their idols. 2 Kings 41:17a
