Experiencing Faith When Everything is Falling Apart

When everything seems to be falling apart, it's natural to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about the future. However, as followers of Christ, we have a promise that our faith will not fail (1 Peter 1:5). But what does it mean to have faith when we're facing seemingly insurmountable challenges? The Bible teaches us that faith is not just a feeling or a decision, but a relationship with God. When we come to a point where we're struggling to hold on, we need to assess our relationship with God and ask ourselves if we've been waiting for Him to open the door for a move or a new opportunity.

The Importance of Daily Personal Time with God

One of the things that will give us dynamic faith is our daily personal time with God. This is when we talk to Him and He talks to us friend to friend. As we establish a prayer-relationship with God, we begin to understand His character and purposes. We learn to trust Him, even when we can't see what's ahead. When we're facing challenges, it's essential to ask ourselves if we've been waiting for God to move, and what role faith can play in our lives when the odds seem overwhelming. Faith is not about feeling strong or confident; it's about trusting in God's character and promises, even when we're weak and uncertain.

Strengthening Our Faith

To strengthen our faith, we need to understand what God is doing, even when we can't see it. We need to trust in His character and promises, even when we're facing seemingly insurmountable challenges. We can't force faith upon ourselves by saying "I believe," nor can we develop it through frenzied prayer or emotional effort. Instead, we need to establish a relationship with God, based on His Word and character. As we do this, we'll begin to experience faith that will carry us through even the toughest times. Remember, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). As we hear and respond to God's Word, we'll begin to develop a faith that will sustain us, even when everything seems to be falling apart.
