Fox News host Harris Faulkner shared how she struggled with faith during the pandemic and how God used her late father’s Bible to rekindle her faith. Although she believed in miracles, she revealed that she has not always been strong in her faith, especially during the pandemic.
“To be completely transparent, I struggled mightily with my own faith journey during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when my dad passed away on Christmas morning in 2020,” Harris said in an interview.
After not seeing her dad for a whole year due to the lockdowns, she tragically and suddenly lost him. The last time she was able to talk to him was through a phone call on Christmas Eve, the following morning, he went on to be with the Lord.
“Many Americans like myself understand the excruciating realities of lockdowns and restrictive living. My father was by himself in his senior living apartment in Dallas, Texas,” she explained. “I was some 1,600 [miles] away in New Jersey. We spoke by phone on Christmas Eve and we laughed. He sounded great. That was the last time anyone talked to him.”

Father’s Bible
Harris’ grief and heartbreak overwhelmed her and eventually, her faith weakened.
“My heartbreak was overwhelming. And with churches locked down across my home state of New Jersey, it was very difficult to have spiritual connectivity and support,” she said. “I began to pray less and cry more in my loss. It was a ridiculous recipe for someone who was raised by parents who taught the opposite.”
As she was packing her father’s stuff, she found his Bible in his belongings. When she opened it, she found herself reading her late father’s faith.
The Bible came “complete with handwritten notations about scriptures that he loved. I began to read his interpretations and expressions of faith,” she said.
After reading the written messages in it, Harris felt something in her heart reignited, it was her faith and belief in the Lord.
“Dad was always the North Star our family. Constantly setting an example and a standard of excellence in every aspect of life, including his relationship with the Lord. And now, in death, dad was guiding me again,” Faulkner stressed.
It was her father’s Bible that helped her overcome her grief and trust in the Lord again.
“The more I prayed and read his Bible notes, it felt like pieces in my life, however, broken, were being knitted back together.”
