There are some who have a passive que sera sera mindset when it comes to faith. Whatever will be, will be. They may want something, but they’ll add the “if it’s the Lord’s will” statement after expressing their desires. For instance, a couple may truly want a child. Instead of believing for the manifestation of a child no matter how long it takes, after a few years of believing, they’ll think it wasn’t God’s will for them to have children.
This passive faith is not really faith at all. It’s hoping something happens and giving ourselves an out if it doesn’t happen. This makes God responsible for what doesn’t happen. At the end of the day we’re telling ourselves and anyone who is willing to listen that God doesn’t keep His word.
God’s will is in His word and it’s not limited to certain people. God’s word says WHATEVER we ask for when we pray, believe that we receive it, and we will have it (Mark 11:24). So whatever we desire, we can have.
Go all in for what you want. Believe God and leave it with Him to bring it to pass. It may take a year or five years, but stick with it. Don’t let doubt, unbelief, and passivity enter your mind. Believe God’s word for whatever you desire.
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;
James 1:6-7 NKJV
