Your Question:
What's the point of having a faith when everything falls apart?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with their faith when life falls apart. They may wonder, "What's the point of having faith if everything is falling apart?" But I've come to realize that faith isn't about avoiding difficulties; it's about trusting in God's goodness and power even when we can't see what's ahead. When we're weak, discouraged, or struggling to make sense of things, our sole confidence should be in Christ. He is our rock, our shelter, and our hope. As the Bible says, "God will not abandon His own." Faith isn't just about feeling good or having a successful life; it's about trusting in God's character and His promise to work all things together for our good. When we put our faith in Him, we're not just hoping for a good outcome; we're trusting in the One who is good and sovereign. In times of crisis, it's tempting to rely on our own strength or to try to fix things on our own. But faith is about surrendering to God's plan and trusting in His goodness, even when we don't understand what's happening. As the Bible says, "Faith is the supreme effort of your life... throwing yourself with abandon and total confidence upon God." It's not about being strong or successful; it's about being vulnerable and trusting in the One who is all-powerful and all-loving.
