Your Question:
How can I trust God when everything is falling apart?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with trusting God when everything seems to be falling apart. It's natural to feel that way, but the truth is that God is holy love, and He is always working, even when we can't see it. The key is to establish ourselves on the eternal truth that God is holy love, and to have faith that He is working everything out for our good. When we lack the mental composure that comes from trusting in God, disaster can occur. But faith is not a weak emotion; it's a strong and vigorous confidence built on the fact that God is holy love. We need to learn to trust in God, not just in His blessings, but in Him Himself. We need to ask ourselves, "Do I trust in God, or do I trust in my own common sense?" and "Have I placed my trust in the Word of God, or in other things in my life?" The Bible teaches us that we can trust God's Son, Jesus Christ, who will never betray us or let us down. We need to hear His voice and learn to trust in Him, even when things seem to be falling apart. We need to proclaim, as Job did, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him" (Job 13:15). This takes perseverance and faith, but it's the only way to maintain our intimate relationship with Jesus Christ and to trust in God's holy love, even when everything seems to be falling apart.
