How do I get my faith back??

Question

Hello everyone,
I used to be so religious. I always stuck up for my faith, when others used to tell me I was being silly and God did not exist. 
I went to church. I put my faith in the Lord and 2 cycles after my wedding in a Christian ceremony, we fell pregnant. I believed this was due to the Lord and he had blessed us with our first child. 
Then, at 19 weeks pregnant in February I delivered my son, sleeping. 
I haven’t managed to fall pregnant yet and my faith has pretty much gone. I tried to cling onto it but I don’t know how to when my baby is dead. 
Has anyone else gone through anything similar? How did you keep your trust in God?

Answer

I am praying for you now. I has a miscarriage last week and realized I was blaming God recently. 
The man preaching today pointed out that Satan in Job 1:16 made the fire that took his children's lives look as if they were coming from God. 
Satan is roaming about as a lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8)and a hungry lion stalks his prey, he is not loud, he does not announce his presence. he will sneak. he will trick and lie. 
Don't let Satan have your faith. Remember that God works all things for your good. Romans 8:28 He is all knowing. Psalms 147:5 Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite. John 3:20 for God is greater than our heart and knows all things. HE KNOWS what is best for you and your baby and for whatever reason this is best. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Answer

I would suggest trying different churches/affiliations to see if something other than where you’ve been feels right. I have been surprised at how differently churches deliver messages. 
This morning’s sermon really helped me... She said that advent is the time for waiting, hoping, expecting... but you can’t ever know what God’s plan is. You never know what you’re going to get. You can plan all you want, but we’re not in charge. 
I think the main message for me was realizing I have to give up all control to Him. And recognize and respect the mystery that is God. We’re not supposed to have all the answers.

Answer

Honestly, it’s hard. I deal with every emotion possible...anger, fear, sadness, etc....on a daily basis. I don’t understand how this could have happened to me. But I also don’t know how I’d ever get through this without God. I have to remind myself that God didn’t let this happen to hurt me. This happened because man rebelled in the garden. 
It hurts. It is the most devastating thing we could go through. But the pain we feel now can’t compare to the glory that is coming (Romans 8:18). He promises that He will be with us when we walk through deep waters (Isaiah 43:2). He invites us to rest at His feet (Matthew 11:38). 
My advice to you is to continue to seek Him, even when it hurts, because He is your refuge and your strength (Psalm 46:1).

Just as the Bible promised, suffering produces perseverance, character, and hope. (Romans 5:3)We are stronger, and life has new weight now. We experienced the value of life from conception in a way only parents can and learned that all life is worth mourning when lost. We now have a better appreciation for mourning as we felt God's nearness to us in our darkest times. As the Bible promised, We were comforted.  And you will be too. (Matthew 5:4)
Please join me in prayers of Thanksgiving for our children and the time we had together, for our health, and our future.
Because we are to make our requests known to God (Philippines 4:6), we would also be Praying for God to bless us again. God's timing is always perfect, Ecclesiastes 3:11 and He works all things for good. Romans 8:28 Remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. (Psalm 34:18)Our God, more than anyone, feels our pain, understands the void left with the loss of a child, and counts ours tears. Psalms 56:8 We can be certain that there is a time for everything, death, mourning, and weeping but more importantly a time to laughter, dancing, and life. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

I'm so sorry for your loss!!!!! 
I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. I went into my prenatal appt to find out the baby had a slow heartbeat. A few days later, I went back for another appt and the heartbeat dropped. My doc told me to prepare for a miscarriage. After my d&c;, I had to take misoprostol to get the rest of the tissue out because there was some complications with my cervix dilating during surgery. I pretty much went through labor and took 2 trips to the ER. Devastation with emotional and physical pain was an understatement. I cried and cried and cried. I was angry with God! I kept asking "why would you do this to me? But yet drug dealers can have multiple children born full term." Honestly, its really hard to explain what helped me keep my faith. My husband, family, and close friends helped me through it. But I kept reading devotional plans on my ebible app about miscarriages and loss every morning before work. That really helped me and praying. I had to look at all the good things that God has done for me. Its been a rough year and the miscarriage was the icing on the cake; however, I had to look at how God has helped me get through the rough patches. I would be lying if I said God hasn't been there for me. If God has been there through my rough patches... I knew that he'd help me heal. And he did! This season is and will be a difficult one but I will pray that you continue to seek God and He helps heal your heart! ❤❤❤

Answer

I delivered my son sleeping in June at 37 weeks. I have always believed in God but not super religious. After our son, I believe so much. My faith has sky rocketed. I was angry with God the first night and then everything changed for me. 
I can’t tell you why or how my faith has been what it has, but one thing I know is I have to believe because if I don’t, then what? Knowing that God is working in me right to help others and to show my faithfulness to him also let’s me know that I will see and hold my son again. 
Some books I have read that have really helped me are Through the eyes of a lion by Levi Lusko. Safe in the arms of God was good too-it referenced parts in the Bible that show our babies are up there, safe and healthy. I hope this helps! I can definitely see losing faith in our situations, so I don’t think it is uncommon or wrong. Just know God is with you in all your hurting.
