Your Question:
how do i keep my faith when everything falls apart?
Answer:
My friend, I can relate to the struggles of maintaining faith when everything falls apart. As a pastor, I've seen many people face similar challenges. According to the passage, faith is the supreme effort of our lives, throwing ourselves with abandon and total confidence upon God. It's a venture of our all, just as God ventured His all in Jesus Christ to save us. When we lack mental composure, disaster occurs in our lives, and it's essential to establish ourselves on the eternal truth that God is holy love. To keep our faith, we need to identify what's keeping us from making a decision. It could be a sin, a series of little things, a habit, or a lack of concern for God's will. I recall a conversation I had with a distraught mother in the hospital, where she asked me how to have deeper faith. I told her that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). We need to read the Bible, pray, and seek scriptural answers to our doubts and struggles. When faced with obstacles, we should pray specifically about them, asking for Christ to enlighten us, give us strength, and continue drawing us to Himself. It's essential to remember that faith always triumphs, whether or not circumstances change. If God wants to deliver us, He can do it. If not, He will go with us through the darkest times. As I always say to my congregation, "Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus" (Hebrews 12:1-2).
