Have Confidence In The Unseen When You Are Uncertain

Romans 8:18
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
 
Romans 8:24-28
For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one also hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see with perseverance, we wait eagerly for it. And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should; but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings to deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God to those who are called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:37
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
     When you are suffering because of uncertainty, hard as it may be: pin your hopes on what is unseen. The Holy Spirit will search the heart of the very universe to determine what God’s will for your life is. When you don’t even know what to ask for, the Holy Spirit takes over and prays for your perfect solution. Life’s problems may be too big for you, but they are never too big for God. That’s why you want His answers and His direction. When you don’t have a clue what the best thing is, just say to God, “I don’t know what is best, but I know that You do. Please just let all the pieces fall into place so that the right thing happens. And fill me with your peace while I’m waiting.” You may feel anxious for awhile, but the very uncertainty that you are currently feeling, leads to your specific answer. If everything were so very easy you might be tempted to think that something wonderful happened because of something you did. But in reality, every good thing that happens in your life is a blessing that God has sent your way, because He loves you and heard your prayer. When you look to God to show you the direction that you should go, you will conquer all the difficult situations in your life. And when you get your answer and your road becomes clear, tell people about your journey. That is the way that you glorify God. That is the how you become an example of your faith and as a result, people will think, “God helped him/her, He can help me too!” And He will. Just ask and have faith in the unseen.
