Maintaining Faith in a World That Seems to Be Losing It

As a follower of Jesus Christ, you may find yourself feeling like you're the only one who still believes in God's power and sovereignty. It can be discouraging to see those around you losing their faith or becoming increasingly skeptical of Christianity. However, it's essential to remember that your faith is not based on the actions or beliefs of others, but rather on the unshakeable foundation of God's Word.

To maintain your faith in a world that seems to be losing it, it's crucial to establish a daily personal time with God. This is when you talk to Him and He talks to you, friend to friend. As you establish a prayer-relationship with God, you'll experience a deeper understanding of His character, His love for you, and His plans for your life. This personal time with God will also help you to discern between God's voice and the voices of the world around you, giving you the confidence to stand firm in your faith.

When your faith is challenged or you feel like giving up, remember that your faith is sustained by God's power, not by your own strength. As the Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). So, make a commitment to listen to preaching and teaching of God's Word, and to pray specifically about any obstacle in your life. Ask for Christ to enlighten you, give you strength to overcome the roadblocks, and remind you of His promises and presence in your life. By doing so, you'll be able to maintain your faith even in the midst of a world that seems to be losing it. Your faith will not fail while God sustains it; you are not strong enough to fall away while God is resolved to hold you.
