Great Faith Expectations

God promises to bless His followers, right? That's part of being a child of God - receiving His love and His grace, but also His blessings and His protection. If I believe that to be true, then it becomes very easy for me to expect that I'll never have hardships, nothing will ever go wrong, and God will keep bad things from happening to me. But that's not the reality, is it? What happens to my faith when I experience difficulties I never expected? And how do I continue to trust in God when I'm battling through negative circumstances?

Scripture References: Romans 8:28, Hebrews 13:5, Psalms 5:6, Psalms 13:1, Isaiah 43:2, John 10:10
