3 things remain unchanged when your faith is shaken. We have all had those moments in our lives when doubt sets in. When the enemy uses fear to steal our peace. Anxiety, stress and worry pay a visit hot on the heels of fear. When your faith is shaken remember Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. Isn’t it amazing, Paul says anything, which covers a wide spectrum of scenarios or needs. The implied promise is if you can belief for it and it is in the will of God, you can receive it.
One thing for sure that remains the same when your faith is shaken is God. Our heavenly Father does not change, in addition the bible says He does not change His mind . While you are being overcome by fear and overrun by doubt, He remains the same. And so it is important to look for the testimonies of people in the bible who faced whatever it is you are facing so you can experience the victory. Because God has remained the same, if He did it before, He can surely do it again. He loves you and wants to give you good gifts, He is in the business of providing for your needs.
There is nothing new under the sun, so whatever situation you are facing, it is not unique to you. It has surely happened before. God’s word is full of promises that He has made, confident that we are well equipped to live well. Remind yourself of the promises God has made over your life and over your situation. Reading and meditating on scripture verses builds up your faith and causes you to focus on who is important and what is of significance.
The Word of God is one thing that surely remains the same when your faith is shaken. Your perception of your situation may have changed but the word of God does not change. And so use the word as a tool to encourage yourself in whatever situation you find yourself in. An example is Psalm 119:105 ‘The word of the Lord is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path’ when one is feeling overwhelmed because you just need wisdom or the assurance that God loves you.
