Your Question:
Can I still have faith when everything falls apart?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with their faith when life gets tough. It's natural to wonder if God is still with us when everything falls apart. But I want to remind you that faith is not about receiving what we want from God, but about accepting what He gives us and glorifying Him in all circumstances. Even Jesus experienced doubt and fear in His darkest hour, but He never doubted God's existence or His ability to come to His rescue. Faith is not based on our victories or successes, but on the Word of God. It's not about being successful, but about doing what God wants us to do, whether or not we achieve our goals. When we face seemingly insurmountable challenges, it's easy to lose sight of our faith. But that's when we need to remember that faith is a work of the Holy Spirit, and it's produced in us by His power. We must do battle with our doubts and fears, and instead, focus on establishing ourselves on the eternal truth that God is holy love. As I look back on my own life, I've seen that faith is not just about receiving blessings from God, but about trusting Him in the midst of trials. My wife Susan and I have faced many challenges in our 19 years of marriage, but through it all, we've learned to trust God's goodness and sovereignty. Even in the darkest moments, we've seen God's faithfulness and love for us. So, I want to encourage you to keep your faith strong, not by focusing on your circumstances, but by fixing your eyes on God's eternal truth and His holy love.
