Everyone loses faith at one point in their lives, but faith can be restored by Christ Jesus, with the Word of the Lord.  Jesus can and will restore you.  By Christ with faith obedience and trust he will restore you.  Don't hold on to all the wrong things you have done in your lives, it just keeps you down.  To let the Lord handle everything is you chance to let all the troubles you might be having go, not to bring them up again, so you can move on in your life.  Or, did you think your problems would just go away?  Barabbas who was released from prison thought he was free. But ended up knowing that he was set free and Christ died for him, and all of us. 

       Believers are persecuted for a reason, because we know that Christ is the one and only real Savior.  If it wasn't true the ones that persecute us wouldn't even bother. There are moments which mark our lives, moments when you realize that nothing will ever be the same.  Moments where time is divided into two parts, before this and after this.  Before Promise Land and after when you go back into the world.  Before Promise Land you were without fellowship, after Promise Land the Lord Fellowships with you. 

Luke 9:62
