Your Question:
What do I do when my whole life is being turned upside down?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling like my whole life is being turned upside down. As a pastor, I've seen many people go through tough times, but it's also something I've experienced myself. When Joshua was a teenager, he went through a phase where he doubted his faith, and it was challenging for both Susan and me to navigate that situation. It's easy to get caught up in feelings of despair and think that everything is falling apart. But in those moments, I remind myself of the words of 1 Corinthians 10:13, which reminds us that God is always there to help us resist temptation. It's not about figuring out what we've done wrong, but rather about where we turn when we're feeling down. For me, it's about turning to God and my faith. I find strength in reading Scripture and praying with Susan. It's also helpful to reflect on past victories and the good things God has done in my life. That's what I've been doing lately, and it's been a great reminder of God's faithfulness. As I read through the Psalms, I see that even people of great faith like David experienced darkness and depression. But he didn't turn away from God; instead, he turned to him in his pain. That's what I try to do when I'm feeling overwhelmed. I turn to God, and I remind myself that he is always with me, even in the toughest times. It's not always easy, but it's what has helped me through some of the darkest moments of my life.
