I have always been a believer that god is with my through hard times, but lately I have lost my faith in the Lord. First off, the last two years have been some of the most difficult years of my life. I feel like every time I turn around I am either failing at something or something is crumbling before me.... for some reason nothing can work out. But even through it all I have stayed devoted to god everyday. I can feel my faith slipping as everything is falling before. I am a strong believer in prayers and looking towards the bible but lately I just feel like god is providing for everyone around me except for me. I feel like he has forgotten about me. I keep asking myself why me? Why is it always me that fails even though I put so much hard work and effort in everything I do. I try to tell myself that god only brings you through thing only if he feels you are strong enough, but lately I have lost hope in it all. What should I do?
[Hebrews 11:1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
We are called to face Christ on His terms mega. He is our Lord and Saviour and He is our Leader in so much as He tells us to overcome, we will be not given what we cannot overcome, I can understand your faithlessness in today’s climate with so much of the World hitting our faith from left and right. Our faith is always tested to what we can bear. We as Christians are not immune to the world. We are told to be in the world but not of it.
I call what you are going through as the ‘Wilderness Experience’. We are called to be separate from this world yet be in it. When our faith is tested it is God who calls us out to come out of the wilderness and come to Him on bended knee. He will only give what you can take mega. Keep the faith and be strong in the Lord because He will come through not keeping you in the wilderness. I am a firm believer that we are called to be separate from the world. It is what every Christian will go through. Sitting on the fence will make you sad when troubling times come upon us. Jesus says we are more than conquerors through Him.
You are not alone; many are called to the wilderness experience to cement their Faith in Jesus and make us sound. My prayers are for you that you can return to a belief that is of a believer who has been in the wilderness and come home. Here are a couple of verses for you to digest on.
[James 1:5-6] If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. (6) But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
[Romans 8:38-39]For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, (39) neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[Galatians 2:20] I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
[2 Corinthians 5:7] For we live by faith, not by sight.
[Ephesians 3:17-19] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, (18) may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, (19) and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
[Psalm 105:8] He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
God promises He will help us in times of trouble. Do not be disillusioned for He holds us up to the Father and is in our corner. You are not alone in your struggles for we have or will be tested in our life.
For me, God is my redeemer as He is to you.
Blessings mega...
