BOB
Good morning! This is Bob Peden of Central a United Methodist Community here in Meridian. Faith can be a struggle whether the struggle is intellectual or based on hard life experiences or withering losses. Struggling with faith is a challenge that nearly every believer goes through at some point in life.
That struggle can also leave each of us unwilling to continue our search for faith during the dry times in our heart and in our dark nights of the soul. Life, however, drags us in and out of experiences whether we are ready to face them or not.
Our Father in heaven, however, can use these experiences to draw us towards faith. He can use the beauty of creation to call to our hearts. He can use the arts and stir our hearts through music, dance, sculpture, and painting. He can beckon us closer through the timely presence of friends who bring us comfort, help us process our intellectual doubts, and survive our most painful experiences.
Ask yourself today; Am I looking for God, and seeking to grow my complete trust in his faithful goodness?
