1 Timothy‬ ‭1:19‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked.

Life’s issues have the potential to pry our faith from God and His word. We see what’s going on in the world and in our own lives and get discouraged. As a result of getting discouraged, some minimize their communication with God and allow their flesh to have more freedom. This mindset will destroy our faith.

Recognize that this is a scheme of the enemy to pull us away from God. Instead of loosening our grip on our faith and doing what our flesh desires, we need to draw closer to Him. Listen to and read more of His word. Communicate with Him and spend time in His presence. We need to reflect on all the things He’s done.

Like a baby who doesn’t want to go to daycare clings to their mother, we need to cling to God. If you’ve strayed away from God, go back to Him and let Him work out all your problems.
