Life periodically becomes a struggle after merging with another person to create a marriage, family, or friendship. Conflict is inescapable as differences in personalities clash for dominance and authority. Yet most believers have faith that their relationship can endure any hardship caused by these differences.
Faith is the backbone of trust, for it provides hope for whatever the future presents. Before going to Washington, President-elect Abraham Lincoln told friends in Springfield, Illinois, “I am trusting in God who goes with me and who remains with you, so let us then confidently hope that all will yet remain well." Faith and trust gave Lincoln the assurance to fulfill his destiny to change America forever.
God's word in Ephesians reminds us that faith is a gift from God created in Christ Jesus for good works and he will reward those who earnestly seek him. Your faith is strengthened as you make good use of these rewards.

Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in
this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus.
Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let
him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish!
