Maintaining Faith in a World That Seems to Be Losing It

It's not uncommon to feel like you're the only one holding on to your faith when everyone around you seems to be losing theirs. However, as believers, we must remember that our faith is not based on the actions or decisions of those around us. Rather, it's rooted in the unchanging Word of God and the promises He has made to us.

Strengthening Your Faith

So, how can you maintain your faith in a world that seems to be losing it? First, make a commitment to daily personal time with God. This is when you talk to Him and He talks to you friend to friend. As you establish a prayer-relationship with God, you'll learn to trust Him more and more, and your faith will become more dynamic. Additionally, you must continually use your faith, just like developing strong muscles. This means taking steps of faith, even when you don't feel like it, and trusting that God will sustain you. Remember, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). So, make sure you're hearing from God through His Word and prayer.

Overcoming Obstacles

When you're faced with obstacles that seem to be holding back your faith, remember that your faith may not change circumstances, but it can glorify God in difficult circumstances. Believe steadfastly on Him, and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. Don't give up, even when you feel like you're not making progress. As Hebrews 3:14 says, "hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end." God is resolved to hold you and keep you safe through believing. So, don't let your circumstances dictate your faith – instead, let God's Word and promises guide you. With God, your faith will not fail, and you'll be able to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.
