When you feel you have no faith left
I believe we all have those moments—when it feels like we’ve prayed and begged God for a breakthrough, yet nothing happens. God becomes silent. You don’t know what to do, and you feel helpless. I have great news for you: God sees you. It's in those moments when we feel God is absent that He is actually present. He’s simply waiting for us to truly trust Him.
When God feels silent, those are the times we need to dig deeper into His Word and prayer. He is there. The enemy wants to convince us that God doesn’t care, that He’s left us, or that He’s ignoring our prayers. But those are all lies! Remember, the enemy is a liar. When those thoughts come, ask yourself, "Are these thoughts from my loving Father in heaven, or are they from the enemy?"
There have been times when I pleaded for God to hear my cry. In those moments, it felt like He wasn’t listening, but in reality, I wasn’t digging deeply into His Word. I allowed the enemy to trick me into thinking God wasn’t listening, or that I had sinned so badly that He had turned His back on me. That was all the enemy’s lies. We must always be alert when the enemy tries to convince us of his lies. Instead, start speaking and reading God’s Word. Pray for God to give you the strength to get through whatever you’re facing.
When you read God’s Word with a heart full of expectation, you will start to hear from God through the pages. The Holy Spirit will begin to show you things that will encourage you in ways you’ve never experienced before. You will start to feel God’s peace in your situation, and your faith will grow.
If you want to hear from God every single day, truly study His Word. Don’t just read it—study it. Approach the Word of God as if your life depends on it, because it does.
You’ll see your faith in God explode. The Word of God is alive. You might have read a certain scripture a million times, but the next time you read it, God will give you a new revelation.
One tip I want to leave with you: before you start reading God’s Word, pray. Ask God to reveal to you what He wants you to understand. I believe God will renew your faith in His ability to change your situation.
