Fear that I have temporary faith

[Blaise N]

Hi CF,

today has been a struggle for me.A great struggle.While reading some helpful biblical articles,I came across something very worrying,I discovered something called “temporary faith”.And it has induced massive anxiety on me.I have no desire to ever leave God no matter how harsh the trial.But I’ve read that temporary faith can last for a short while to years.And I’m afraid that the struggles I’ve been going through the past year-1/2 are signs I’m losing my faith.My mind feels like it has a fog of confusion,like mixed ideas saying to leave God and others saying to stay.Now of course I will stay with God,but I’m worried my fai to is temporary.But to add,there have been very fiery trials in my life that almost stripped me of my faith but I always stood strong with God.I always tell myself “I will never leave God”

However these anxieties plague me and I really could use any support!,if anyone has some spare time to help,I’d be so grateful.

The words temporary faith aren't in the Bible. You have genuine faith given to you by God.

1 John 5:13 NIV
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

Don't listen to Satan. He is a liar and has been a liar from the beginning.

Father, please bring peace and calm to Blaise's mind. Protect Him from Satan's lies and remind him that he can have power over those lies in Jesus' name. Eternal life is a gift from You forever! Eternal means forever.
in Jesus' name, Amen.

Please re read what I have quoted from your post.
Just what is there in that statement that says your faith is temporary?

May I suggest that you read that Christian Classic, Pilgrims Progress, not a childrns version but the full version complete with its long discussions of faith.

Pilgrim like you went through many trials, including being unable to distinguish between his thoughts andthe devils whispered blasphemous ideas.

No where in the bible are we promised an easy life as a Christian. So stand firm in the strength and faith that God supplies.
