Numerous individuals complain and lament in the face of problems. People are burdened by worries even in minor conflicts and become enraged in piddling situations. This is because unbelief is rooted within their hearts rather than thanksgiving. If unbelief is not abandoned, then falling into resentment and confusion becomes unavoidable. The only way to heal the unbelief embedded within your heart and thoughts is through the Word and prayer. What is the power of God that can defeat all unbelief?

1. Work of fulfilling His promise
When the Israelites were liberated from Egypt and stood before the Red Sea, everyone began to complain and became frustrated. However, through one person, Moses, who believed in the power of God, the Red Sea parted and miracles arose. Just as the Exodus was God’s will, it is also God’s will for mankind to come out from under the forces of darkness. God will fulfill His inevitable plan by His power. When you hold onto the power of God and discard all unbelief in the face of problems, you will receive the answer of surpassing your standards.

2. God’s plan
The parting of the Red Sea was a great miracle. However, what is more important is God’s plan that is hidden behind the miracle. The people of Israel crossed the Red Sea into the land of Canaan. In order to enter the land where the Messiah was to come, it was inevitable to cross the Red Sea. If you are in the midst of unbelief and discouragement, then you are unable to see the plan of God. When you pray inside the Word and seek God’s plan, not only will you see answers within the problem, but you will also discover God’s specific plan for you.

3. The works of the Creator
God desires to renew us through the problems we face. As the Israelites were crossing the Red Sea, the Egyptians chased after them. Although the Egyptian army may have seemed like a threat to the Israelites, it was rather God’s plan to destroy the Egyptians. Through problems, God heals unbelief and newly plants the Word into our hearts. In addition, He will lead the people who have received salvation with the blessing of recreation.
