Your Question:
How do I survive when everything is falling apart?!
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen my fair share of crises, and I've learned that when everything seems to be falling apart, the first thing to do is to acknowledge the sin in our lives. This might seem counterintuitive, but when we're facing a crisis, it's easy to get caught up in trying to fix the problem on our own. However, the truth is that we can't fix ourselves, and we need to confess our sin and ask for help. This is where prayer comes in - not just a desperate cry for help, but a genuine recognition of our need for God's intervention. In my own life, I've faced crises that seemed insurmountable, and I've learned that the key to surviving is to look outside of myself to God. As the Bible says, "man fell from his state of fellowship with God in Eden" (Genesis 3), and that separation from God is what causes our problems. When we try to fix ourselves, we're just patching up the symptoms, not addressing the root cause. By acknowledging our sin and seeking God's help, we can begin to find the strength and guidance we need to navigate even the most difficult situations. As a husband and father, I've also learned that crises can be a wake-up call to re-evaluate our priorities and our relationships. When everything seems to be falling apart, it's easy to get caught up in our own problems and forget about the people around us. But in those moments, it's more important than ever to reach out to our loved ones, to pray with them, and to seek their help and support. By doing so, we can find the strength and resilience we need to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
