Daily Devotions: Abandoning the Faith - May 21, 2026

John 16:1 (ESV) In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall addresses the growing trend of people abandoning or “deconstructing” their faith during difficult times. He explains that Jesus Himself prepared His disciples for hardship, persecution, and challenges, teaching them deeply about relationship, faith, and the work of the Holy Spirit so they would remain strong and not fall away. Pastor Sumrall emphasizes that believers stay grounded by continually listening to Jesus, spending time in His Word, especially the Gospels, and building a real relationship with Him through prayer. Faith is not sustained by feelings, but by trusting the promises and words of Christ even when emotions are uncertain. As you watch this episode, be encouraged to remain steadfast in your faith, draw close to Jesus in every season, and hold firmly to His promises no matter how difficult life becomes. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
