Faith When You Feel Fragile
Faith When You Feel Fragile
There are days when your faith feels strong—like you could move mountains. And then there are days when it feels fragile, like a thin thread holding you up. If that's where you are, take heart. God doesn't ask you to have perfect faith; He asks you to trust Him with what little you do have.
Jesus said, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed…nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20). A mustard seed is tiny, but it carries life and potential. In the same way, even your fragile faith is enough when placed in the hands of a faithful God.
Remember, your strength isn't in how steady your faith feels—it's in how steady your God is. Isaiah 42:3 reminds us, "A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out." When you feel like a bruised reed or a faint flame, God doesn't reject you—He gently holds you and fans your faith back to life.
Today, don't worry about the size of your faith. Focus instead on the size of your God. Even in weakness, He is strong, and His grace is holding you together.
