So, Where Is My Faith?
Posted on Oct 22, 2008 under Faith |It’s the day of reckoning here. This is the day that my family has awaited, prayed about, anticipated. It all comes down to God answering our prayers now. We didn’t set a deadline; the date was chosen for us.
I’m feeling helpless. I’ve done everything I thought I ought to do but nothing worked. I know that I have no power over this situation. I know that it’s all in God’s hands and that should make me feel confident. My faith should carry me through these next few hours.
Instead, I’m a nervous wreck.
I feel like a fake. I believe in God. I pray and ask for His blessings. And then I worry. Where is my faith? If I truly believe then should I not be at peace right now?
Okay, my friends. I need prayers. I need prayers beginning now and especially at 5pm Eastern time. Pray that my faith is strengthened. Pray that the Lord will pour His blessings on our family. Pray that we make it through this. Pray.

My friend, I Stumbled Upon your website. I decided to post a reply. You should know that faith does not require the absence of concern…it does not require a lack of emotion. Faith says that in the face of emotion, I still trust the LORD. Even when things don’t go your way, you still trust the LORD. Even when there’s pain, you still trust the LORD. Don’t worry about the emotions and the “fear.” In the face of your fear, continue trusting the LORD.
My testimony…I was foreclosed on my home. I thought that the LORD should have come through and stopped the process. HE didn’t. So, my family and I packed up and moved right on back to our old house. I say, thank GOD I had a home to go back to. Maybe there’s a reason HE allowed it, and HE knows the story much better than you or I…so just trust HIM in the face of your fear.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to share that with me. I really needed that message tonight. I was feeling like God did let me down because it didn’t go the way we’d hoped.
I don’t know why these things are happening in my life but I’m sure that my Lord will take care of me and my family. My heart is aching and I’m scared but I do trust Him. Thank you for reminding me of that.
