We have all witnessed tragic situations, if not in our lives then in the lives of people that we know. We have seen on the news where the unthinkable has happened; a child is brutally killed, terrorists have killed thousands or a plane has gone down killing all on board. How do the people that are directly touched by these tragedies cope when all of the cameras are gone and they are left to really feel the impact of their loss?
In chapter 6 of Intensive Faith Therapy, we look at how the prophet Jeremiah handled such death, disaster and destruction. He felt that God was allowing too much to happen to Jerusalem and that all was hopeless. However, in the middle of his pity party he remembered one thing. God is faithful and His faithfulness is great.
When we face similar situations, we would do good to remember the unfailing love that God has for us. We may feel that all hope is gone. However, if we remember that God is faithful then we will be able to place our hope and faith in Him. Jerusalem did not remain in desolation. Neither will we.

I trust in God’s faithfulness. I’ve written about it here: http://your-dailyword.blogspot.com/2009/06/gods-faithfulness-is-new-every-morning.html.
I’m just wondering what is that book that you’re referring to? Intensive faith theraphy? what is that? who wrote that?
I know what you mean. I myself witnessed a tragedy and even I am not closely involve, the thought that it may happen to me or to the people I love is unbearable.
During those times, I know that it is hard to hold on our faith. But at the end of the day, it is the only thing we have.
Thank you very much for that great article
