Your Question:
how can i trust god when everything's falling apart?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling to trust God when everything seems to be falling apart. I've been there myself, and I can tell you that it's a difficult place to be. But as I've learned from my own experiences and from the scriptures, trust in God is not about feeling a certain way or having all the answers. It's about having a deep and abiding faith in His holy love, even when things don't make sense. You see, when we trust in God, we're not trusting in His blessings or His promises, but in Him Himself. We're trusting that He is good, even when things don't go as we planned. And that's not always easy. But as the scripture says, "Faith is the supreme effort of your life, throwing yourself with abandon and total confidence upon God." (October 24, The Proper Perspective) It's about venturing our all with total abandoned confidence in Him, even when the going gets tough. So, how can you trust God when everything's falling apart? First, you need to establish yourself on the eternal truth that God is holy love. Then, you need to hear His voice and commit yourself to Him. As the scripture says, "You can trust God's Son! It is more reasonable to commit oneself to him than to the finest human being." (From the text) He will never betray us or let us down. And finally, you need to maintain your intimate relationship with Jesus Christ through the perseverance of faith. Proclaim as Job did, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him" (Job 13:15). That's the kind of trust that can see us through even the darkest of times.
