Becoming: When Faith Feels Fragile

(But You’re Still Present)

There are seasons in life when you feel like you’re at the very end of the rope.

Your faith is dwindling.

Your hope is thin.

And the strength you once had feels almost gone.

You’re praying over bills, asking God to meet your needs.

You’re waiting on test results, afraid of what the report might say.

You’re hoping, praying, believing—yet quietly feeling your faith fade.

You start to wonder if God is listening.

If He’s still near.

If somehow you’ve been forgotten.

What about the promises that haven’t come to pass?

The prophecies spoken over your life that feel distant now?

The prayers that once filled you with excitement—but now only echo with silence?

In these moments, hope dulls.

Desire weakens.

Faith wavers.

And yet…

Somewhere deep within you—down in the pit of your stomach—you don’t let go.

You’re tired.

You’re discouraged.

You’re unsure.

But you’re still here.

Even when God hasn’t come through the way you expected.

Even when, in your mind, it feels like nothing has changed.

There is a quiet knowing that He is still present.

Still listening.

Still waiting with you—not away from you.

Fragile faith is still faith.

Quiet faith is still faith.

Faith that shows up tired, uncertain, and afraid is still faith.

And maybe becoming isn’t about feeling strong—

Maybe it’s about staying present when strength feels gone.

I’m learning that faith doesn’t always roar.

Sometimes it whispers, “I’m still here.”

And for now, that is enough.

I am becoming someone who stays—even when faith feels fragile.

Still becoming.

Reflection Question 

Where has my faith felt fragile lately—and what has kept me from giving up completely?
