Being the omniscient all-knowing God, He would not instruct us to do that which He knows cannot be done. With His instructions come the power and ability to obey and accomplish that for which the instruction was sent, as we depend upon Him. Nothing He asks you to do is impossible.
We can examine the circumstances and be honest about them without becoming weak in our faith. We can say, "Yes, this is what is apparent with my natural eyes, BUT GOD says...... And He is able to perform!"
I love Abraham's example in Romans 4:19-22; it is packed with applicable truth: "Without becoming weak in the faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb;...". In other words, he was very honest about the truth of the circumstances, but he did not allow the truth of the circumstances to weaken his faith in God's Word. It continues, "....yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. Therefore it was also credited to him as righteousness."
Know the promises and stand on THEM. Be in His Word. "..faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ." Romans 10:17.
Allow your 'reality' to be transformed by His truth.
Listen to Him.
And then, of course, faith should always lead us to obedience.
This is no time to waver in unbelief.
