Are You Losing Faith In The World Around You?

The last few years have been really rough. My father had cancer and passed away. My businesses have been struggling, and I was hoping to find love. Everything I’ve been focused on has failed, and I’ve been losing faith.

When you go all-in with something failure will rip your heart out, and it will demolish you. It marks you for the next event, and it reminds you of your failure.

You have a choice when you’re losing faith. You can fight, or you can run. Running will not stop the loss, in fact, it only increases it. When you run you’re making things worse for yourself, and only delaying the fight.

The worst part about running is that it tires you out, and when that fight inevitably happens you’re more exhausted than you should be.

It’s why so many people continue to lose faith, and they become shells of their former selves.

What Does It Mean When You Lose Faith?

To lose faith is to lose your future. It’s a belief that goes into your soul that you buy into. And that belief is that things will never get better, in fact, you’ll be lucky if they stay the same. For me, a deep sense of foreboding comes onto me, and I usually wanna curl up and die.

Losing faith is a horrible feeling, and when you combine that with depression or anxiety. You’ve got a giant to defeat.

When you lose faith there’s almost nothing you can do. I say almost, because the few things you can do, will make all the difference. One of the reasons I am in this place is that I left my close friend group, and joined some others. However, I didn’t let myself get close to the new group and kept them at arm’s length.

When you don’t have a good sense of community, you’re going to lose hope.

How Do You Never Lose Faith?

You can hold on forever when you’ve got good friends. Your friends are key to winning the battle of hope. When you’re weary, they’ll lift you up. And if you’ve lost your way, they’ll help you find it.

One of the best things you can do is have good friends around you.

Time With Jesus; Keeps Me From Losing Faith

One of the things that have been a huge benefit, is a relationship with Jesus. He and I have been through a lot, and there’s no other person in this world that I’d rather fight alongside. Because he’s always helped me fight.

Losing Faith?

Losing Faith And Learning To Fight

Along with Jesus and friends. I had to learn to make some choices. One of which came from the old saying, “Fake it till you make it.” I don’t like the idea of faking anything, however, sometimes you have to force yourself to do something.

When I was losing faith in things with my father, I didn’t wanna go to work, talk with friends, or even go snowboarding. (which is a huge stretch for me)

I lost all faith in society, and it didn’t look like I’d find it anytime soon. However a month ago I did notice light, and over the last few weeks, it’s begun to grow. I’ve made consistent choices to focus on the little things. If I can make choices in areas that I have power, and stop worrying about the things I can’t, then maybe there’s a difference I can make somewhere.

If you’re losing faith you’re not alone. I want you to know this, God loves you, I love you, and there’s a world of people out there who love you. There’s a reason you were put here on this earth, and only you can accomplish that reason. You’re worth it.

I don’t know if any of this post makes sense, but it was in my heart and now it’s out on the internet. Comment below if you enjoyed it.
