Faith is not about the struggle to conjure up belief, but rather resting in the finished work of Jesus, acknowledging that strength comes from God, not perfect effort.
While trials and trouble will happen, faith is the assurance and trust in God’s promises, which often happens when we help our unbelief by relying on His grace rather than our own strength.
Faith is easy, it’s the resting that can become hard. It’s about trusting God’s power rather than relying on ourselves.
Even when we doubt God’s promises, He welcomes our honesty. In Mark 9:23-24 this is seen, “Yeshua said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, I believe. Help my unbelief.”
The object of faith is to focus on trusting Jesus, not the intensity of our own feelings.
We must remember that the role of any trial is not intended to break us, but to build endurance and maturity.
Jesus promises us that His burden is light. This means true faith brings peace, rather than struggle.
