When Faith Doesn't Work.

I have been faced with times where I put my faith in Christ and expected a certain outcome and it doesn't occur. I don't have the talent to describe how panicked, distraught, and hopeless those times have been. Have you ever felt that the promises you expected aren't coming; that your faith doesn't work? This has led me to ponder, when it seems your faith isn't working maybe it could be for several reasons:

Perhaps you are just do not see the blessings. 

After all, faith is things hoped for, which are not seen

Perhaps your faith is not centered. 

Faith must be centered in Jesus Christ in order to produce salvation (BD)

You may be waiting on a miracle as a condition to your belief:

Miracles do not produce faith (BD)

Perhaps you are meant to wait:

Can you think of all the instances in the scriptures where God made his children wait?

You may not be nurturing your faith

Faith is like a plant. It needs to be cultivated. It is a principle of Action (BD).

Your faith may not be based on correct knowledge:

All true faith must be based on correct knowledge or it cannot produce the desired results (BD)

Perhaps you need a different blessing than the one you expected
worship, obedience, patience, different desires,
