There’s a cool story about a man named George Müller who lived a long time ago. One time he was on a ship that got stuck in thick fog. The captain stopped the ship because he couldn’t see where he was going. George Müller went to the captain and said, “Let’s pray for God to clear the fog.” After they prayed, Müller told the captain to go ahead and start the ship again. When they went back up on deck, the fog was GONE!

That’s what faith is—believing in what you can’t see yet! It doesn’t take faith to believe in things you can already see. It DOES take faith to believe God’s promises before they happen!

Think about Noah in the Bible. God told him to build a huge boat because a flood was coming. But Noah had never seen a flood! It had probably never even rained before! Everyone thought he was crazy! But Noah believed God and built the boat anyway. And when the Flood came, Noah and his family were saved because he had faith!

God wants us to live by faith too! That means trusting Him even when we can’t see how things will work out. It means believing His promises even when everything looks impossible!

Take Action: Is there something you need to trust God with right now? Maybe you’re worried about something at school or in your family. Maybe you’re scared about the future. Try this: Write down what you’re worried about. Then write next to it: “I trust God with this!” Every time you start to worry, read what you wrote and remember—you’re living by FAITH, not by what you can see! God has promised to take care of you, and you can believe that promise even before you see how it will happen!
