Topic: Faith In A Crisis

A crisis is a terrible circumstance. In a crisis, when so many parts of your life seem to have come unraveled, you may want to slip back into sin because in a crisis we seem to lose our footing. In a crisis, you can easily lose your faith. In a crisis, you may not want to pray because you think praying won't change anything. In a crisis, you may want to give up because trying to deal with the circumstance of the crisis is too painful and too difficult. Sometimes, in a crisis, it seems the energy you need to live is not enough to fight on. In a crisis, there is no fun or enjoyment in your life. Because you cannot escape the crisis, there is no security, and there is no escape. In a crisis, the loneliness is unbearable and there is fear, paralysis, anxiety, panic, anger, defeat, and bewilderment. In all this darkness, surely God must be someplace. Most certainly, in all this darkness, God IS someplace…He is within you. For in all this darkness, God is closer to you than any lack of energy, closer to you than any fear, closer to you than any paralysis, closer to you than any anxiety, closer to you than any panic, closer to you than any anger, closer to you than any defeat, and closer to you than any bewilderment.
