Biblical Answer

Faith in the midst of struggles

Sometimes, our faith fails us when we need it most. This can be due to various reasons, such as untested faith, lack of obedience to God's Word, or failure to trust in God's sovereignty. In such situations, it's essential to take an inventory of our faith and assess where we stand. We must ask ourselves questions like "Is something holding back the development of my faith?" or "Am I waiting for God to open the door for a move or a new opportunity?" By doing so, we can identify the obstacles that are hindering our faith and take steps to overcome them.

Growing faith requires a deliberate effort to cultivate it. We must purpose to grow our faith, just like a plant needs water and sunlight to grow. This involves being honest with ourselves, acknowledging our mistakes, and trusting in God's ability to move obstacles as we pray and trust Him. We must also take a leap of faith into God's provision, even when we're unsure of the outcome. As we obey God's Word and trust in His sovereignty, our faith will grow stronger, and we'll be able to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

In the midst of struggles, it's easy to feel like our faith has failed us. However, it's essential to remember that faith is not about feeling or emotions; it's about trusting in God's Word and His sovereignty. When we come to Christ in faith, we're essentially saying, "I give up!" We're acknowledging that we can't save ourselves and trusting in God's ability to save us. This kind of faith is not based on our feelings or circumstances but on God's character and promises. As we continue to trust in God, our faith will grow stronger, and we'll be able to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
