Have you lost faith?

SUMMARY: Losing faith in difficult situations only adds more pain and frustration. It brings hopelessness and can lead to bitterness. However, it is possible to face problems with a different attitude and maintain a positive spirit. Faith can accomplish miracles and allows us to rise above the problems of life. Jesus expects us to have faith and not be frightened.

Do you remember a time when you said or thought: I have lost faith? How did you feel when you spoke those words? Maybe I can remind you: Most likely, you were going through a very complicated and difficult situation, perhaps on the verge of despair. The interesting thing is that by losing faith that everything would be solved in a favorable way, you automatically added pain and frustration to the sad experience that you were already living. By losing faith, you were not only facing the reality of the situation that afflicted you, which evidently remained the same or worse, but you were adding a new component to your struggle to get ahead. Do you know which one? By losing faith, you brought hopelessness into your life.


When that happens, the next temptation will be to open the door to bitterness. It is an inevitable process! Unfortunately that is the path that many people take. The great news is that there is another possible way before the imponderables of life. You can suffer many inconveniences without allowing them to cloud your soul or chill your heart. So much so that many people find a way to face their problems with a different attitude.
