As human beings, we all endure periods of time when our faith begins to fail. Difficult circumstances get the best of us, and we can't seem to find our way out of seemingly simple situations. We have a great need that is deserving of an answer, and we try to believe God, but the problem appears too big that we cannot help but to doubt Him. Luckily, God has a plan for fighting failing faith.
Fighting Failing Faith by M.J. Mitchell is a ten-day devotional journal dedicated to helping Christians first identify what causes faith to fail, be it embarrassment, fear, or wasted time. It then addresses how to take up arms against spiritual doubt. We cannot fix what we don't face, and staying in denial about our failing faith will never let us break the cycle of doubt. Through self-awareness and an enlightened perspective acquired through the Word of God, we can overcome these periods when our faith has lapsed and place our trust in God to see us through our darkest hours.
From a young age, M.J. considered himself strong in faith. But when his first major trial happened, he watched as his "strong faith" crumbled under the weight and pressure, and he quickly went from preaching about standing in faith to doubting if God could bring him out. But as soon as the trial was over, he went back to having strong faith. This cycle continued for years, then one day, as he was studying Mark 9:14-29, God spoke to him about the cycle of failing faith in his own life, and he began to notice the same cycle taking place in others. This book is the process that God took M.J. Mitchell through to help him, and it is his prayer that it may help you too.
