One of the easiest times for someone to lose faith is when things are bad. It seems at that point it is easy to throw in the towel so to speak. But, when things are bad one of the worse things you can do is to lose faith.

Hold on to your faith and know that no matter what you are going through in life, nothing ever is worth losing your faith over. Sometimes, the biggest problem in life for a person is keeping their faith in check. It can become a daily struggle, to hold on to something we cannot see or sometimes cannot even feel.

But in those moments of doubting, if you truly give faith a chance, you will know that holding on to your faith is one of the most important things this life has to offer. We all are born into this world and we all must leave at one point or another to meet and be with our Awesome God in His timing. But, while we are here, the trials and tribulations some of us have to endure sometimes seem to be too much for us.  It’s in these times that the story of the footprints in the sand come to mind. It is a story about a person’s life revealed to the reader through a picture of  two sets of footprints in the sand that sometimes change to only one set of footprints in the sand.  When there was only one set of footprints in the sand, the person questions God on why He wasn’t there. God then reveals to him that during the times in his life that he only saw one set of footprints, was the time that He was carrying him, helping him through those very difficult situations.

If you feel you are all alone, don’t despair. Trust that God has a great plan for your life and that what you are going through is for a purpose. You may not understand the purpose, but God is there to comfort you and to carry you through if you will let Him. He didn’t send His only begotten Son, Jesus, to die for us, for no reason. He sent Jesus because He understood that for us to have eternal life, His only begotten Son had to die for our sins so we could be with Him forever. Jesus loved us so much that He died on a cross for us, then 3 days later rose again. It was only through this sacrifice that we were and are redeemed.

One of my favorite songs to sing when I am doubting my faith is “Jesus Loves Me”. It is a simple song, yet so powerful in it’s meaning. Just in case you have never heard it, the words to it are: “Jesus loves me this I know, For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong, they are weak but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus Loves me, the Bible tells me so.”

With God all things are possible, so, if you are having a tough time, He is right there carrying you through it. He loves all of us so very much.

I don’t know what our futures hold, but I do know Who holds our futures. All of ours. We are all living today at this very moment in time because this is our time to be alive and to share with all who are around us, God’s redeeming love. God is love…..so today…remember, no matter what, don’t lose faith and never give up!
