Cynicism comes when we don't think God is doing
anything.
We figure... hey, if nothing ever changes, why should I stay faithful and try to make things better?
But here's the problem with that...
We assume God's not doing anything because He's not doing what we think He should be doing.
But God's always doing something to
further His purpose.
He just does it in His own way and time... and it's often done behind the scenes.
When we realize that, we stop being consumed with our own agenda and start looking how we can best serve His.
And as we do, we start seeing He's been doing a lot more than we thought.
