That He can do anything. That's not usually where our faith struggles.But do we believe that He is good? That He doesn't just provide for us, but that He is so loving, so attentive, that He is involved in every corner of our lives? That He wants the best for us? That He works tirelessly for our good?Louis and Zélie's lives were not without struggle. Not without trial or hardship. And yet they carried this confidence in the goodness of God through all of it.That's a different kind of faith. Not just believing God can — but trusting that He will, because He is good.Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we believe that You are good. We believe that You love us and want the best for us. Increase our faith. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Keep fighting the good fight. Our Lady of Victory, pray for us. Get full access to The Victor's Crown at www.thevictorscrown.com/subscribe
