19 And [kai] being not [me] weak [astheneo] in faith [pistis], he considered [katanoeo] not [ou] his own [heautou] body [soma] now [ede] dead [nekroo], when he was [huparcho] about [pou] an hundred years old [hekatontaetes], neither yet [kai] the deadness [nekrosis] of Sara's [Sarrha] womb [metra]: KJV-Interlinear
19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. ESV

Look no farther than yourself.
You think, but the substance of your life cannot be seen or measured or even contained in anything apart from the soul in which God placed it. He gave us a physical existence so that we could interact with the world around us, a brain that filters the capabilities of the soul, down through the physical body.
And all of this and far more, is beyond our understanding, even in our scientifically advanced era.
And so, Abraham had a promise, that he would have a son. He looked at his own situation, and he looked at God, and he waited and waited knowing that when the time was right, God will make good on His promise. And, he did this without any clue as to how it would all happen.
And so, we too will face difficulties and hardships and situations that will seem impossible, as far as we are concerned.
But Christ put us into this world, and Christ did not place us here arbitrarily.
We have to pursue our faith, through learning, and we have to face the impossible sooner or later, if we are ready, and then Gods promise to us or purpose for us, whatever that might be, will come together.
And there is nothing the world can do to prevent it.
God always does His part, we need only do our part. And our part is to stick with a daily study and learn and continue doing that until we mature, and are then ready and usable by God, to do His purpose.
Our purpose or what we might think our purpose is, and our timetable, is of no consequence. God has a greater purpose.
