WHEN FAITH FEELS LIKE A TIGHTROPE

Nobody really talks about how faith can feel like walking a tightrope.

How sometimes, it’s not this unshakable thing but a delicate, trembling step forward, hoping the next one doesn’t send you crashing down. How some days, you just know—things will work out, you’re on the right path, life has meaning. And other days, doubt creeps in like a slow fog, whispering, What if you’re wrong? What if you’re alone? What if none of this makes sense?

Faith—whatever it looks like for you—isn’t always this bold, fearless thing. Sometimes, it’s holding on by a thread, gripping onto something bigger than yourself, even when you don’t fully understand it.

And the hardest part? No one really prepares you for that. No one tells you that trust doesn’t always feel safe. That believing doesn’t always come easy. That even the strongest people have moments where they question everything.

But maybe that’s what makes it real.

Because faith isn’t about never doubting—it’s about choosing to move forward anyway. It’s about taking the next step, even when you’re afraid. It’s about holding on, even when you’re not sure what’s holding onto you.

So if you feel like you’re barely making it, if your faith feels fragile, if your grip is weak—just know this: You’re still here. You’re still moving forward. And that is enough.

That is faith.
