Finding Hope When Church Feels HardНамуна

When it feels hard and we don’t know what to do there are 3 practical things you can do that will make a big difference.

1. Keep the Faith. Don’t let issues with the church get in the way of your faith in God. Keep praying. Keep seeking Him. Keep believing you are loved and forgiven and have a place with Him in eternity no matter what.

2. Say something. Talk about what’s hard. Chances are you are not the only one struggling. Find people you trust and be real with them. They may have a solution. They may just be a sounding board. Either way, it helps you process your feelings.

3. Forgive. This one is really hard. I’ve walked forgiveness in hard places, 490 times a day as a matter of fact. It’s always worth it. You may not even know what you are forgiving or who you are forgiving. Just start. Open your mouth and tell God, “I forgive the church.” Start there until you know more specifics. Forgiving breaks us out of a jail we never knew we were in.

You don’t have to walk through this hard place alone. You are loved and you are part of The Church, even when you can’t step through the doors. Keep seeking God in this place and He will be with you. Always.
