When Your Faith is Tested


















Faith. That’s a powerful word. This is what connects our relationship to God. 

Faith is a great word to talk about. Even better to sing it loudly in a praise and worship song in church.

It is different when faith and fear meet.

It’s what I call the scared place. When you have that scared feeling when your faith is tested.

I’m in that scared place right now. While I have faith God will answer my prayers, I’m scared because I don’t know how this will turn out. God has a plan that He doesn’t always share with us. It’s a scary place because we don’t know.

I don’t like being in this place but whether I like it or not, I am here. Trusting God isn’t always easy. Sometimes He gives us things that are painful to bear. I don’t like the painful part.

Is my faith strong enough? I can’t say for sure but I won’t give up easily. I will fight as long as I have fight in me.

As I face this test to my faith, I keep reminding myself that I can only do this one step at a time. I only need strength for today and when I wake up tomorrow I will start again.

Having faith doesn’t mean it won’t be a struggle or that I won’t shed some tears along the way. It’s going to hurt but I have to push though it.
