Topic:
What Do We Do When All Seems Lost?
When things seem utterly and totally hopeless, when we are in total
darkness, we can turn to God. When we turn to God when all seems lost,
we are immediately answered, but we are not always answered in a way we
want or understand. When we turn to God, physical suffering may
continue. When we turn to God, emotional suffering may continue.
However, whether our prayers get answered should not be a condition of
our faith. Too many people make their faith conditional. They say, at
least inwardly, I will believe and keep my faith in God if God delivers
me from my suffering. But this kind of conditional faith is not what God
wants from us. We need to keep our faith whether we are suffering or
not. When all seems lost, we must keep on hoping in God, we must keep on
trusting in God, and we must keep on doing the work God has for us to
do. Then, over time, with our willingness to trust Him and love Him, we
will find all is not lost. We will find, we are indeed not lost but
found.
