How to recover from shattered faith in Jesus?

As human beings, we all encounter difficult trials in life. The trials create a range of feelings including anger, depression, and sadness. 

If you choose to stay in the emotional distress your faith will crash and your confidence in Jesus will bottom out.

Prayer will help if consistent and you seek out the Holy Spirit. But more than likely the feelings will return.

This cannot be resolved by an intellectual approach or “feel good” therapy.

Jesus is in heaven and not available for a personal meeting to help you navigate through your moods.

The most viable remedy is to go back to your beginning with Jesus and rebuild your faith based on your experiences with Him.

Think about the miracle when you received the gift of salvation, meditate on the personal promises made to you from Jesus, ask the Holy Spirit to help you recall the visions and dreams in your life and reflect on the signs and wonders witnessed from the transfigured Christ.

These life experiences will embolden your faith and give you steadfast confidence in Jesus.

Finally, read about the powerful attributes of our God in 1 Chronicles 29:11.

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all.

Pray everyday. Ask Jesus to take away your mood swings, fill you with joy and restore your confidence and faith in Him.

Jesus reigns!
