Faith as a lifeline

Hello everyone! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

We all face injustices, great suffering, failures, or the chaos of the world, and wonder: “Why?” It becomes total absurdity :broken_heart:, because no human logic can justify these pains.

Of course, we all wish to have a clear answer and a perfect explanation. But faith teaches us that God offers us more than just an explanation: He offers us a lifeline!

Faith as a lifeline

:anchor: The Strength that holds us, even in Absurdity

Let’s take the image of a shipwreck. If you fall into the water, everything collapses around you, and you panic, you don’t need a thesis on wave theory; you need to be saved right now.

Jesus presents Himself in the absurdity of our suffering to give us His Presence :folded_hands:. That’s the “hope we cannot understand”. It’s not a logical answer for our brain; it’s a Force that supports our heart when our mind cries out against injustice.

Holding onto us, He allows us to cross what seems impossible.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me.” – Psalms 23:4 :open_book:

:pushpin: What to remember:

  • Our faith is not about understanding everything :thinking:, but about trusting Jesus, even when the path is dark.
  • He does not promise us the absence of storms :cloud_with_lightning_and_rain:, but He promises, with certainty, to walk beside us in the storm.
  • This unfathomable hope is our greatest resistance against discouragement.

:musical_notes: An Inspirational Note!

All this discussion comes from the powerful message of We Can’t Do Much But To Follow Jesus by JesusBYS, which speaks of this absolute trust despite helplessness.

If it speaks to you, good news: the official music video premieres on Sunday, November 16, 2025 on YouTube! Don’t miss it!

It is a great relief to remember that we do not need to understand to be supported. The certainty that He is with us (Psalm 23:4) is the only anchor needed. What a source of hope!
