I am having some personal issues in life right now. Sometimes it is hard to stay faithful to the Lord. What can i do in order to not let myself fall away from God and to keep trusting Him in all I do?
Answer:That's definitely a struggle that we all have in our walk with the Lord. You're not alone my friend. I'd like to share a passage with you. Luke 10:41-21 says, "And Jesus answered and said to her, 'Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But ONE THING is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part which will not be taken away from her.'" In this passage Jesus was invited to some women's house. Martha was trying her best to be the hospitable host in the house and Mary wanted to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to Him. Martha was upset that Mary wasn't helping her and asked Jesus to tell her to help. Jesus replied those words to her.
Especially in hard times it's easy to get worried about the things in our lives that go in many different directions and we want so badly to control those things that they would turn out well. The last thing we naturally want to do is settle down and listen to Christ. But the truth is that we are made to only have one master and when we get worried we scatter our attention in many different directions and are not settled in anything. Christ is saying is that He wants us focused on that ONE THING (staying close to Him) despite the many things that pull for our attention. This is what we are made for, and those things cannot take away what we have in Christ because HE is greater than those things and will have them fall in place as we focus on Him.
