When Faith Feels Featherlight

When faith has you tossing like a feather.

Some days, faith feels like a fire—strong, blazing, unshakable.
Other days? It’s a flicker. A whisper. A feather caught in the wind.

And that’s okay.

Faith was never about how much you are doing or how perfect your prayers sound. Sometimes, the most powerful faith is the quiet kind—the kind that clings to hope when nothing makes sense, the kind that says, “God, I don’t feel You, but I choose to trust You anyway.”

It's the hard times that push our faith to the limits to help us grow so we can come along side someone else who just so happens to be dealing with the same thing.

Jesus said if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, it’s enough to move mountains (Matthew 17:20). He never asked for flashy. Just faithful.

So if your heart feels tired today—if your prayers are small and your soul is worn—know this: God isn’t measuring your faith by volume. He’s holding it gently, like a feather in His hand. And He won’t let it fall.
