Your Question:
What's the use of having faith when everything feels like it's falling apart?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with their faith when life gets tough. They feel like everything is falling apart, and they wonder what's the use of having faith when it seems like nothing is working out. But I've learned that faith is not about feeling a certain way or having a warm, fuzzy sensation. It's about knowing that God is with us, even when things seem darkest. Faith is not about trusting in our own abilities or efforts to fix our problems. It's about trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when we don't understand what's happening. It's about recognizing that God is holy love, and that He is working everything out for our good, even when it doesn't feel like it. As the Bible says, "God will not abandon His own." He is our rock, our refuge, and our strength. So, what's the use of having faith when everything feels like it's falling apart? The use is that it gives us the mental composure to trust in God's goodness, even when we don't understand what's happening. It gives us the courage to abandon ourselves to Him, to trust that He is working everything out for our good. And it gives us the hope that one day, we'll see the glory of God in all its fullness, and we'll be transformed into the image of Christ. That's the ultimate purpose of faith: to bring us into the presence of God, and to transform us into His likeness.
