You Can Suffer And Still Have Faith

You can have depression and still have a strong faith.

You can have anxiety and still have a strong faith.

You can be overwhelmed with what’s happening in your life and still have a strong faith.

You can be overcome with grief and still have a strong faith.

It’s important we don’t use faith to minimize someone else’s pain or life experience. Yes, there are thorns, but that doesn’t mean my faith is any less. Faith doesn’t cure things. It won’t take away suffering and make everything all better. But it does bring strength.

So when you see someone who is struggling, don’t assume their faith is weak. Some of my lowest moments have been when my faith has been its strongest.
