Your Question:
What's the point of having a faith when everything falls apart?
Answer:
As a pastor and a man of faith, I've seen many people struggle with the idea of faith when everything seems to be falling apart. It's natural to wonder if our faith is strong enough or if we're truly trusting in God. But the truth is, faith is not about having all the answers or avoiding difficulties. It's about trusting in a God who is holy love, even when we don't understand what He's doing. When we face challenges and uncertainty, it's easy to get caught up in the idea that faith is about getting what we want or achieving success in the world. But that's not what faith is about. Faith is about abandoning ourselves to God's plan and purpose, even when it's hard or uncomfortable. It's about trusting that God is working everything out for our good, even when we can't see it. As Jesus said, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know" (Jeremiah 33:3). For me, faith is about surrendering my life to God's will, even when it's hard. As a pastor, I've seen people struggle with faith when they're facing difficulties, and I've struggled with it myself. But I've come to realize that faith is not about having a magic formula for success or avoiding pain. It's about trusting in a God who is faithful and loving, even when everything seems to be falling apart. It's about surrendering myself to His plan and purpose, and trusting that He will work everything out for my good.
