2 Bible Verses About Struggles in Faith
Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
Exodus 14:12KJV
And why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
Numbers 20:4KJV
Thus we see that the path of faith is not an effortless ascent, but a terrain marked by shadows and the deep questioning of the soul. These sacred words unveil this reality, showing that struggle is not alien to the spiritual life, but intrinsic to its unfolding. They teach that doubt, fear, and weakness, while disquieting, serve as potent crucibles wherein resilience is tempered and truth more fiercely grasped. To meditate upon these passages is to acknowledge our human frailty, yet find in divine wisdom the very courage required to persevere. Let us then approach these unavoidable trials not as aberrations, but as vital seasons of growth, knowing that a faith which has wrestled in the dark emerges into the light not unbroken, but profoundly strengthened, refined by its necessary encounter with difficulty.
