Your Question:
How can I keep my family's faith when everything is falling apart?
Answer:
My friend, I can relate to the struggles you're facing. As a pastor and a husband and father, I've seen my fair share of challenges that can test our faith. But I want to encourage you that faith is not just about feeling a certain way, it's about trusting in the character and promises of God. As the Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). So, it's essential to immerse ourselves in God's Word and prayer. When everything seems to be falling apart, it's easy to lose sight of God's goodness and sovereignty. But that's when we need to dig deeper into our faith. I recommend keeping a prayer record, writing down the names of your loved ones and praying for them daily. This will help you stay focused on God's promises and provision. And don't be afraid to pray for yourself, too - confess your doubts and fears to God, and ask for His strength and guidance. As a family, we've faced our share of struggles, but we've learned to rely on God's faithfulness. When my son Joshua was struggling with his faith a few years ago, I encouraged him to keep praying and seeking God's truth. And I did the same - I prayed for him, and for myself, and for our family. I reminded myself that God is holy love, and that He wants us to venture our all with total confidence in Him. So, I encourage you to do the same - pray specifically for your family's faith, and trust in God's goodness and sovereignty.
