Your Question:

How do I keep my faith when everything falls apart?

Answer:

My friend, I can see that you're struggling with your faith, and I want to encourage you that it's a normal part of the journey. When disaster strikes, it's easy to lose our footing and question God's love and goodness. But I want to remind you that faith is not about feeling or emotions, but about knowing and trusting in God's holy love. As the scripture says, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). So, I want to encourage you to get back to the basics of your faith, to read the Bible and pray regularly, and to seek out scriptural answers to your questions.

It's also important to identify what's keeping you from making a decision or moving forward in your faith. Is it a sin, a habit, or a lack of understanding? Once you identify the obstacle, pray specifically about it and ask God to give you strength and guidance. Remember, faith is a work of the Holy Spirit, and He is always at work in us, even when we don't feel it. As the scripture says, "Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus" (Hebrews 12:1-2). Jesus is our example for faith, and we must look to Him for guidance and strength.

Finally, I want to encourage you to never give up praying for those who are away from God, including family members. Pray sincerely and pray as long as there is life in that person's body. And remember, faith is not just about receiving what we want from God, but about accepting what He gives us and glorifying Him in all circumstances. As the scripture says, "Faith always triumphs, whether or not circumstances change" (Psalm 23). So, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and trust in His goodness and love, even when things seem dark and uncertain.
