Your Question:
how do i keep my faith when everything falls apart?
Answer:
As a pastor and a man of faith, I've seen many people struggle with keeping their faith when everything falls apart. It's like they're standing on shaky ground, unsure of what's holding them up. But the truth is, faith is not just about feeling confident or secure; it's about throwing yourself with abandon and total confidence upon God. Just like how God ventured His all in Jesus Christ to save us, we need to venture our all with total abandoned confidence in Him. When we lack mental composure and establish ourselves on the eternal truth that God is holy love, we're more likely to face disasters in our lives. But the key is to identify what's keeping us from making a decision or from having faith. Is it a terrible sin, a series of little things that clouds our access to God, or a habit that we can't break? Whatever it is, we need to confront it head-on and seek God's help. As the Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). So, let's compare everything in this book with the Word of God and let's run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus. In times of doubt and struggle, we need to remember that faith is not just about receiving what we want; it's about accepting what God gives and glorifying Him in all circumstances. So, let's pray specifically about any obstacle in our lives and ask for Christ to enlighten us, give us strength to overcome the roadblock, and continue drawing us to Himself. And let's never give up praying for our loved ones who are away from God. As the Bible says, "Pray sincerely, and pray as long as there is life in that person's body" (1 John 14:6).
