With the situation I’m in, doing better. But I started to pray for reconciliation and to see some positive things. I am still struggling but I know God is working behind the scenes even though I can’t fully see it right now. I just want this to work out. It’s been 2 weeks and this is just very important for me. I do struggle with patience and trusting but I know it’ll work out. It just may take more time then I want it to..

Dear ManiaStar
Be encouraged by Gods Word, we may not always understand why and for how long, but someday (in Gods time) we will. Take refuge in that thought and stay strong. Keep turning to our Father whenever you feel depleted, keep your faith in Him always.
"Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying." - Romans 12:12
You will be in my prayers,
Take care

Every time you venture out in your life of faith, you will find something in your circumstances that, from a commonsense standpoint, will flatly contradict your faith. But common sense is not faith, and faith is not common sense. In fact, they are as different as the natural life and the spiritual. Can you trust Jesus Christ where your common sense cannot trust Him? Can you venture out with courage on the words of Jesus Christ, while the realities of your commonsense life continue to shout, “It’s all a lie”? When you are on the mountaintop, it’s easy to say, “Oh yes, I believe God can do it,” but you have to come down from the mountain to the demon-possessed valley and face the realities that scoff at your Mount-of-Transfiguration belief (see Luke 9:28-42).
Every time my theology becomes clear to my own mind, I encounter something that contradicts it. As soon as I say, “I believe ‘God shall supply all (my) need,’ ” the testing of my faith begins (Philippians 4:19). When my strength runs dry and my vision is blinded, will I endure this trial of my faith victoriously or will I turn back in defeat?
Faith must be tested, because it can only become your intimate possession through conflict. What is challenging your faith right now in reconciliation based on your wishes, will in the end build your character in Christ, if you remain in Christ thru the wall of circumstance. The test will either prove your faith right, or it will kill it.
Jesus said, “Blessed is he who is not offended because of Me” (Matthew 11:6). The ultimate thing is confidence in Jesus, not the answers to prayer; yet He says, if we seek Him first these other things He will also give (but don't forget to add: according to His will).
“We have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end…” (Hebrews 3:14). Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith up to the point of our physical death, which is the last great test. Faith is absolute trust in God - trust that could never imagine that He would forsake us (see Hebrews 13:5-6).
I am praying for you in this situation!
