Biblical Answer

When we put our faith in God's sovereignty, even when we're feeling overwhelmed or stuck, it's essential to recognize that our faith is not about manipulating God to get what we want, but about trusting in His goodness and control. As C.S. Lewis notes, faith is about walking by faith, not insisting that God do something specific. When we're feeling stuck, it's easy to become obsessed with the moments when God did come and speak with us, but God wants us to trust in His sovereignty and walk by faith, not just wait for Him to speak again.

In times of uncertainty or doubt, it's crucial to remember that God is always working, even when we can't see it. He gives us all we need to carry out our calling, and His sovereignty is not inimical to our faith, but rather it's a reminder that we can trust in His goodness and control. When we hit a wall or get discouraged, faith can play a significant role in our lives by helping us to trust in God's sovereignty and to open ourselves freely to the future. This means being obedient to God's commands, even when it's hard, and trusting that He will equip us to do what He asks of us.

Ultimately, putting our faith in God's sovereignty when we're feeling overwhelmed or stuck means trusting in His goodness and control, even when we can't see it. It means being willing to take an inventory of our lives and assess where we're putting our trust, and recognizing the things that are keeping us from faith in God. By doing so, we can grow our faith and trust in God's sovereignty, even in the midst of uncertainty or doubt. As the Bible reminds us, "Faith is to open ourselves freely to the future, it is obedient self-commitment and inward detachment from the world." (Psalm 37:3-7) By trusting in God's sovereignty, we can find peace and comfort, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
