Faith Crisis? Don’t Stop Now. You’re Almost There.

I have many friends who are facing a faith crisis — some in their health, their finances, their relationships and/or simply fear for what the future holds. After all, if we watched and listened to the news long enough, and believed it – we could all take a tail spin. It’s not that we don’t believe in God or believe His Word. It is that our symptoms are speaking louder than our faith. Let’s stop and consider that there is nothing too difficult for the great “I AM” Who is our Lord God. Let’s strengthen our resolve to truly believe Him for complete restoration in His perfect timing. Let’s be strong and immovable! Let’s just BREATHE and have FAITH that God is working out everything for the best!

We know that this isn’t the end of our story. It’s a chapter in our story, and there are other chapters to write after this one. Our Savior isn’t a cold-hearted cosmic judge disconnected from our pain. He’s a loving Father and Friend who is walking with us and even carrying us through life’s most difficult times. Jesus said, “Never will I leave you or forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)

On this side of eternity, we don’t always see how God takes the broken pieces and creates something beautiful with them, but we can have the assurance in knowing that He will redeem the circumstances somehow in His perfect timing. Perhaps some of the good He’ll bring is using the pain to bring us closer to Him. At the end of each day, we can still proclaim: “God is good. All the time. And, all the time, God is good!” So don’t stop now. Just breathe. Keep having strong FAITH that everything will work out for the best. You’re almost to your miracle!

Psalm 107:19-21 “Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems. And He saved them from their troubles. He gave His command and healed them. He saved them from the grave. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His faithful love. Let them give thanks for the miracles He does for his people.”
