Your Question:
How do I keep my faith when everything falls apart?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling with keeping your faith when everything falls apart. I've been there myself, and I've learned that it's essential to establish yourself on the eternal truth that God is holy love. Faith is the supreme effort of our lives, throwing ourselves with abandon and total confidence upon God. Just like God ventured His all in Jesus Christ to save us, we need to venture our all with total abandoned confidence in Him. To overcome barriers to faith, it's crucial to identify what's keeping you from making a decision. Is it a terrible sin, a series of little things that clouds your access to God, or a habit that you can't break? Whatever it is, we need to confront it head-on and seek God's help. I remember a distraught mother I met in the hospital, who asked me how she could have deeper faith. I told her that faith is a work of the Holy Spirit, and that we need to start with basic steps, like reading the Bible and praying, and then move on to more difficult things. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with doubt and struggle, but I've also seen the power of faith in action. When we pray specifically about any obstacle in our life, and ask for Christ to enlighten us and give us strength to overcome the roadblock, we can experience the power of faith. And when we review our answers to prayer, we can see how God has been working in our lives, even in the midst of chaos. Faith always triumphs, whether or not circumstances change. And that's the bottom line, my friend.
