Faith Tested Through Love and Loss


There is a kind of pain that doesn’t just break your heart.
It interrogates your faith.

Not loudly.
Not angrily.
But persistently.

I remember sitting with someone who had done everything “right.” She prayed before she loved. She waited when it was hard. She trusted God with her heart, her choices, her future. When love finally came, it felt answered. Affirmed. Safe.

Until it wasn’t.

Loss does not always come as death.
Sometimes it comes as betrayal.
Sometimes abandonment.
Sometimes as a future that simply collapses without explanation.

And when it happens, faith becomes complicated.


When Love Feels Like a Promise God Didn’t Keep

She didn’t stop believing in God.
She stopped understanding Him.

“How could You allow this?”
“Why would You give me something just to take it away?”
“Was I wrong to trust You with my heart?”

These questions didn’t come from rebellion. They came from disappointment.

Faith is easy when love is safe.
It is tested when love hurts.

She still prayed, but differently. Less expectation. More caution. Her worship became quieter. Her hope more restrained. Not because she no longer believed—but because believing had cost her something precious.


The Silent Crisis of Faith

What many don’t talk about is how loss reshapes your theology.

You start to doubt your discernment.
You question your obedience.
You replay every decision, wondering where you missed God.

And sometimes, the most painful thought emerges: What if faith didn’t protect me?

Loss has a way of making faith feel exposed.

Not weak.
Just vulnerable.


What Loss Reveals

Over time, something subtle began to change.

She realized her faith had been anchored to outcomes. To answered prayers that looked a certain way. To love that stayed. To stories that ended well.

Loss stripped all of that away.

What remained was not certainty.
It was surrender.

Faith, she learned, was never a guarantee against pain.
It was a posture for walking through it.

God was not absent in the loss.
He was present in the breaking.

Healing Without Answers

She never got full closure.
No dramatic apology.
No clear explanation.

But she found something else—clarity.

She learned that love can be real and still not last.
That obedience does not exempt anyone from grief.
That faith matures when it survives disappointment.

Loss did not destroy her faith.
It refined it.


Faith is not proven when prayers are answered.
It is revealed when love is lost and God is still trusted.

If you are walking through loss and wondering where God is, know this: questioning does not mean failing. Grief does not mean disbelief. And pain does not mean abandonment.

Sometimes faith isn’t loud confidence.
Sometimes it’s quiet endurance.

And that still counts.

Faith, love, and loss intersect in deeply personal ways.

How Do I Structure My Business for Growth?

I remember when I first started helping business owners. Many of them were talented. Passionate. Visionary. But exhausted. Overwhelmed. Frustrated. They were working in their business constantly, but growth felt impossible. Sound familiar? That’s because most businesses are structured for chaos, not growth. You can’t scale what is not built to scale. You can’t grow without a foundation. Here’s the truth: Growth is not about working harder. It’s about building smarter. 1. Start With Clarity — Not Activity Too many business owners are busy… but not focused. They create content, post on social media, respond to messages, tweak offers — all at the same time. And yet, growth feels slow. Solution: Before adding more tasks, ask: Who exactly are you serving? What transformation are you offering? How will people know and trust you Milash Brand Digital helps you clarify your audience, message, and offer first. This is the foundation. Without it, every...

What Should I Focus On Right Now?

If you’re asking yourself this question, it means you care. You want to grow your business, serve your audience, and finally see results. But it also means you’re feeling scattered; pulled in every direction, unsure where to start. Let me simplify it for you: Right now, you focus on the things that actually move your business forward, not the noise. Here’s how to prioritize: 1. Your Audience Comes First Stop guessing what people want. Stop chasing trends that don’t fit your brand. Ask: Who exactly am I serving? What problems do they face every day? How can I make their life easier? Everything else flows from this clarity. Content, offers, messaging; all of it needs to serve the person you’re trying to help. 2. Your Offer Should Be Crystal Clear If your offer isn’t obvious, your audience won’t know why to buy from you. Right now, focus on: What transformation do you deliver? Who is this for? Why is it better than what they can get elsewhere? ...

She Believed She Could — But What Happened After Is the Real Story

People often celebrate the moment a woman finally believes she can do something. That spark. That conviction. That shift in self-awareness. But belief is only the beginning. It is the introduction to a much longer story; one that requires endurance, clarity, discipline, and a kind of quiet strength that is rarely applauded but always necessary. I have watched many women begin their journeys with fire in their eyes. And I have also watched the same women discover that belief alone is not enough to carry a vision from potential to manifestation. This is the chapter no one talks about—the one that takes place after she believes she can. Let me tell you what that chapter looks like. The Woman Who Thought Belief Would Be Enough Several years ago, I met a young woman who wanted to start a consultancy. She had the talent, the training, the passion, and an inner conviction that she could succeed. She told me, “I know I can do this. I just believe it.” A...
