Purposeful and Meaningful: 5 Truths When Your Heart Struggles To Believe

I have had those tough days when I felt pressed down and really thought may be this was it...Amid the terror attacks, the fears in this wicked world many question if God is in this. They question if God were still alive.

I too have had those desperate calls for help. But deep inside, something stronger than my feelings of desperation held me back from being tipped over.

He pulled me away from the road I thought seemed right.

Whether we choose to believe God or not, He never changes.

He won’t stop being God because we aren’t sure whether we believe Him or not or we choose to stop believing that God is.

There are times we wonder if the Lord hears us or if He is still there. We can't help but ask if God really loves us.

Yes, there are days we struggle with “Believe”.

Please stay with me here!

The choice to believe is entirely up to us. In fact, our whole life as believers is about our Believe.

There is nothing that can come between us and God not even death itself! So amid all the fears in whatever name it bears, it can't pull us away from the love of Christ.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Romans 8:35

The word “”Believe” is stronger than we know it. It is an action-filled, very potent word that draws us closer to our expectation.

The more we tune our hearts to believe our faith grows, our expectations become manifestations.

Our whole life is woven in faith.

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10:38

Losing our faith or when we stop believing we stop living (Habakkuk 2:4).

Something gradually dies inside of us when we stop believing the Lord will come through for us.

Come what may, our living is by faith which comes through us believing that the Lord is.

*Those that come to God must believe that He is* (Hebrews 11:6)

We should choose to Believe in the Lord.

"We should choose to believe in the Lord; not in our past, or our possessions or our mistakes or our failed dreams or in the enemy's lies, but in the Lord Jesus because everything else will fall the through the cracks but Him alone remains unchanged".

5 Truths When Your Heart Struggles to Believe

* You live in a life doubt; When you are in doubt you cannot receive anything from the Lord.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

James 1:6-8

* You open yourself to the attacks of the enemy; Unbelief leaves you vulnerable to the enemy.

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Ephesians 6:16

We strip ourselves off our defences when we stop to believe.

* You reject His Word: When God speaks His Word to our hearts, He needs us to believe. Our faith is all about believing His Word for our lives. And like Mary, let us say, "Be it unto me according to thy word"

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

Luke 1:38

* Unbelief opposes your expectation: Just as the father of the child cried out for help, He asked Jesus to help him in his struggle.... It is wisdom to lay it at His feet as ask the Lord for help in areas you struggle to believe.

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Mark 9:23-24

* We stagger at God's Promise: We have to be fully persuaded that God would perform His promises for our lives.

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Romans 4:20-21

What determines if we receive what we have asked the Lord is our faith which comes from us believing in His Promises for us.

Have you stopped believing?

You aren’t sure any more if the Lord is with you?

I have been there and I am glad to let you know that God will not leave nor forsake you.

Whatever life is throwing at you will not consume you because you are God’s property and not the enemy’s play thing.

Now is not the time to give-up our faith, it is not the time to stop believing God. But rather, it is a time to stand firm despite what the world throws at us.

Close your eyes and like that man said to Jesus with the whole of your being say “Lord help my unbelief”

You can go ahead and say it again.

Prayer: Lord, help my unbelief. I believe every word you have said concerning my life, family, finances, _________ in Jesus name. Thank you for the blessings you have showered on me. Amen.
