Biblical Answer

When everything is falling apart, it can be challenging to keep our faith strong. However, the Bible reminds us that our faith is not based on our own strength or abilities, but on the power of God. In 1 Peter 1:5, it says, "Faith unto salvation is the result of God's sustaining power." This means that as long as God is sustaining our faith, we are not strong enough to fall away. Therefore, we must focus on our daily personal time with God, praying and seeking His guidance and strength. This is when we talk to Him and He talks to us, friend to friend, and our faith will not fail.

When we hit a wall or get discouraged, we must remember that faith can play a significant role in our lives. We must believe steadfastly on Him, even when everything seems overwhelming. As Hebrews 3:14 says, "Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith." This is not about forcing our faith or trying to make ourselves believe, but about trusting in God's power and sovereignty. We must also be willing to take an inventory of our lives and ask ourselves questions like "What role can faith play in my life when I hit a wall or get discouraged?" and "How can I trust in God's goodness even when everything seems to be falling apart?" By doing so, we can develop a greater faith and trust in God.

In order to keep our faith strong when everything is falling apart, we must be intentional about growing our faith. This means continually using our faith, like developing strong muscles, or we will lose our strength. We must also be willing to push our faith beyond our expectations and attempt something bigger than we've ever done before. If we fail, we start over again, and if we succeed, we grow and become stronger. As the Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). Therefore, we must be committed to reading and studying God's Word, praying specifically about any obstacles in our lives, and seeking God's guidance and strength in our daily personal time with Him. By doing so, we can develop a greater faith and trust in God, even when everything seems to be falling apart.
