When you feel silly for having faith

The situation I’m in right now feels so impossible that sometimes I actually feel silly for having so much faith that I’m going to overcome it.

But the truth is—we all have those moments. Moments when it feels impossible, and yet something inside us says: “I still believe.”

That’s not silly. That’s faith. And when you have it, God meets you in it.

I always say this:

I’d be worried… if Jesus didn’t rise from the grave after three days.

But He did.

So I don’t need to worry.

The battle has already been won. He’s already overcome.

Still—it’s hard when you’re surrounded by people who don’t have that same faith.

Not because they’re bad people—they just haven’t been in a situation that requires the kind of faith that stretches you, breaks you, rebuilds you.

So I’ll catch myself thinking:

“Do people think I’m crazy for believing this hard?”

But then I remember: God doesn’t care if I look crazy.

He loves when we have faith.

This journey has taught me to stop worrying about everyone else’s opinions.

The only opinion that matters is God’s.

And He sees the hard work.

He sees my faithfulness.

And I believe He smiles at it.

Maybe your faith feels wild to others—but it might be the exact thing that shows them what faith looks like.

And you don’t need to ride on anyone else’s faith.

Your relationship with God is your own—and it’s everything.

There’s a song I’ve been loving lately by Lauren Daigle called “Trust in You.”

The lyrics say:

When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move

When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through

When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You

I will trust, I will trust…

That’s what God wants.

Not perfect performance.

Just trust.

Even when we don’t get it. Even when it looks hopeless.

Isaiah 55 reminds us:

His ways are not our ways. His thoughts are higher than ours.

So even if we don’t understand the situation, God does.

He sees the full picture.

And He has a good plan for our lives—better than we could even dream.

So today I’m choosing not to feel silly for having faith.

I’m choosing to trust the One who sees it all.

And I’m resting in the truth: He’s got me.
