When Faith Breaks but God Doesn’t
Finding grace when everything feels impossible
Many years ago, after our first daughter was born, my wife got pregnant again.
We were overjoyed.
Then… she miscarried.
We were devastated.
Months later, she got pregnant again.
We were excited… but if I’m fully honest, we were terrified too.
Afraid it could happen again.
Then the symptoms started.
And I remember walking to the furthest corner of our home...
falling apart... and crying out to God.
I remember saying these exact words:
“Lord, I don’t know if I can handle this and still believe in You!”
It was a raw, breaking moment.
The kind of prayer that doesn’t sound godly... but is.
A few days later, she miscarried again.
And somehow, in that heartbreak, I felt the love of God surround me.
It was as if His arms were buffering me
while I buffered my shattered bride.
That moment changed my faith forever.
Because I learned something I didn’t fully know before...
Faith doesn’t mean you never break.
It means that when you do, God still holds you up.
So if you’re standing in that space today...
between someone’s pain and God’s promise...
Hold the line with His strength.
Keep your heart open just enough
for hope to get through the cracks.
He’s not asking you to be their healer.
He’s asking you to carry them to Him.
And sometimes, that’s the miracle itself.
P.S.
If this hit you somewhere deep, it’s probably because you’ve been the one holding the line for someone else.
You’re seen. You’re not alone.
And if you’re breaking right now...
remember, faith isn’t about never falling apart.
It’s about knowing Who still holds when you do.
