How do we know God's faithfulness in difficult times?

In times of difficulty, believers look to God's past faithfulness as a source of hope. Psalm 85 reflects David's prayer and longing for God to revive His people again. The faithfulness of God is confirmed through His previous actions and mercies toward those who trust in Him. We see this pattern throughout the Old Testament, where God continually turns His people back to Himself in love. Believers can be assured that God will respond in grace, as He has done in the past, reminding them that He is always working for their good.
