Your Question:
how do i keep my faith when everything falls apart?
Answer:
My friend, I can relate to your question. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with faith when their lives fall apart. But I've also seen the power of faith in action, and I want to share with you what I've learned. The key is to understand that faith is not just about receiving what we want from God, but about trusting Him in all circumstances. When we lack mental composure and establish ourselves on the eternal truth that God is holy love, we can face disasters with confidence. I remember a time when I was visiting a distraught mother in the hospital, and she asked me how she could have deeper faith. I told her that faith is a work of the Holy Spirit, produced in us by the "meat of the word" (Hebrews 5:12-14). We start with basic things, like removing small stones in our shoes, and then move on to more difficult things. It's a journey, my friend, and we must be patient and persistent. We must also remember that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). So, how do you keep your faith when everything falls apart? First, identify what's keeping you from making a decision, and then take small steps to overcome it. Apologetics can also help you keep the faith in times of doubt and struggle. And above all, remember that faith always triumphs, whether or not circumstances change. Review your answers to prayer, and look back over your prayer list for the past two weeks. This will help you see the power of faith in action, and give you the confidence to face any challenge that comes your way.
