The part about choosing to worship God anyways is such a real struggle for me because worship does feel hypocritical when my feelings especially doubt rises up and causes me to question God and His goodness. I feel at once unworthy to sing and raise my hands because those actions feel so contradictory to what is in my heart. And so often because worship is centered or packaged as a response to good news, it feels so hard to do it. And I totally hear that worship in seasons of the “great schism” is an act of trust, but even that can feel hard as sometimes my struggle is in trusting God and not just doubting His goodness.

Scripture tells us that God is the author and perfector of our faith and sometimes, we forget that God often uses imperfect situations to do that sanctifying work in our hearts and lives. And in those moments of walking in the valley, it can be really tough to believe that God is still good and that He is still who He says He is so, it good to have these kinds of conversations where we acknowledge just how difficult it can be to still trust in Him even though circumstances tell us otherwise.

This was beautiful and vulnerable encouragement to all of us to remember that it’s OK to feel the pains and doubts that come from being in the valley but that we can still hang on to our God – the author and perfector of our faith.

Love this. I love the “even if” faith you’re talking about. It mirrors the actions of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who, in the book of Daniel, told the king that they wouldn’t bow to the idol he had set up. They went so far as to say that they knew God would deliver them, but “even if” He didn’t, they trusted in Him. Thank you for a great post.
