Faith When It’s Not Fair Friday

Faith When It’s Not Fair Friday
February 20, 2026

Beautiful woman,

Can I just talk to you?

This week has been heavy for me.

Not dramatic. Not chaotic.
Just heavy.

Mentally stretched.
Emotionally tested.
And honestly… disappointed.

There were prayers I’ve been carrying for my family that I really believed would shift by now. I fasted. I prayed. I surrendered. And some of them are still unanswered.

And I had to sit with that.

I had to sit with the silence.

And if I’m being transparent, there were moments this week where I said, “God… this doesn’t feel fair.”

You ever been there?

Where you’re doing your best to walk upright, trying to stay obedient, trying not to react, trying not to go back to old patterns… and still, things don’t move the way you hoped?

That’s a different kind of test.

Because it’s not testing your belief in God.

It’s testing your trust in Him.

There’s a difference.

Psalm 73 has been sitting with me heavy.

Asaph basically said what a lot of us think but don’t always say out loud — “Why do people who don’t even honor God seem to prosper?”

Why does it look like the people cutting corners are thriving?

Why does it feel like injustice goes untouched?

Why does obedience sometimes feel like delay?

And the part that comforts me is this — he admitted it troubled him deeply.

Deeply.

So if you feel troubled, you’re not faithless. You’re human.

The shift happened when he entered the sanctuary. When he got back into God’s presence. That’s when perspective changed.

And I had to do the same thing this week.

Because disappointment will talk to you.

It will whisper:
“Maybe this isn’t working.”
“Maybe you should handle it yourself.”
“Maybe you’re doing too much.”

And if you’re not careful, you’ll start comparing.

You’ll look at another woman’s life and think,
“Why is her family good?”
“Why is her marriage steady?”
“Why is her business growing?”
“Why does it look easier for her?”

Comparison is dangerous when you’re already disappointed.

It makes you question your obedience.

But let me tell you what I realized this week.

Obedience is not validated by immediate results.

Obedience is validated by alignment.

And sometimes staying aligned costs you comfort.

I had moments where my flesh wanted to respond emotionally. Where I wanted to say what I felt. Where I wanted to control outcomes.

But I had to ask myself:
“Do I trust God… or do I just trust Him when it feels good?”

That’s real.

Because walking with Christ does not mean life will always feel fair.

It means you choose Him when it doesn’t.

Jesus was treated unfairly.
Misunderstood.
Betrayed.
Delayed.
