Your Question:
How can I still have faith when everything is falling apart?
Answer:
My friend, I can relate to your question. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with their faith when life gets tough. It's easy to trust God when everything is going well, but when disaster strikes, it's a different story. I've learned that faith is not just about receiving what we want from God, but about trusting Him in all circumstances, even when things seem to be falling apart. For me, faith is about establishing myself on the eternal truth that God is holy love. It's about throwing myself with abandon and total confidence upon God, just like He threw Himself all in Jesus Christ to save us. I believe that our faith will help determine our outcome in life, and that we don't have to be left up to chance. When I'm facing a crisis of faith, I try to remember that faith is not based on any victory I've ever won, but on the Word of God. I remind myself that God will not abandon His own, and that He will go with me through the tough times. In times of doubt and struggle, I find it helpful to turn to the Word of God for scriptural answers. I pray specifically about any obstacle in my life, asking for Christ to enlighten me and give me strength to overcome the roadblock. I also try to remember that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). And most importantly, I pray sincerely and consistently, just like I would for a loved one who is away from God. I believe that with faith, we can overcome even the most formidable challenges, and that God will be with us every step of the way.
