Your Question:
Can I still have a relationship with God after losing my faith?
Answer:
As someone who has walked through my own share of struggles with faith, I can tell you that it's possible to still have a relationship with God even after losing your faith. The Bible teaches us that God is holy love, and His love for us is unwavering. When we struggle with faith, it's often because we've lost sight of this truth or we've become discouraged by our circumstances. The key to regaining a relationship with God is to identify what's keeping you from making a decision for Him. Is it a sin, a habit, or a lack of understanding? Once you've identified the barrier, you can begin to work on breaking it down. As my pastor friend said, "Maybe it's a terrible sin like that of my father. Maybe it's a series of little things that clouds your access to God. Maybe it's a habit that you can't break." Whatever it is, know that God is willing to forgive and restore you. If you've never established a personal relationship with God, you can do it right now. Simply pray a prayer like my pastor friend prayed, "Jesus, come into my heart and save me." Or, "Father, forgive me of my sin and receive me as Your child." God has promised to receive all who come to Him (John 6:37), and He will hear your prayer. Remember, faith is not based on any victory you've ever won, but on the Word of God. So, don't give up, even when you feel like you're not winning. Keep your eyes on God, and He will pour rivers of living water through you (John 7:38).
