Your Question:
how do i keep my faith when everything falls apart?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the pain and struggle in your question. It's a question that I've faced many times in my own life, especially as a pastor. When everything falls apart, it's easy to lose sight of our faith. But I want to tell you that faith is not just about feeling or emotions; it's about trust and confidence in God's goodness and love. As I read through the passage, I was reminded of the importance of establishing ourselves on the eternal truth that God is holy love. Faith is the supreme effort of our life, throwing ourselves with abandon and total confidence upon God. Just like God ventured His all in Jesus Christ to save us, we must venture our all with total abandoned confidence in Him. It's a matter of trusting in His goodness and love, even when circumstances are difficult. One of the practical steps I've found helpful in keeping my faith strong is to make a promise to God, like I did to read the Bible through each year. It's also essential to review answers to prayer, looking back over our prayer list to see how God has worked in our lives. And when we're struggling, apologetics can be a valuable tool to help us keep the faith in times of doubt and struggle. Remember, faith always triumphs, whether or not circumstances change. God will go with us through the darkest of valleys, and that's a promise we can hold onto.
