•A Prayer for Faith•

By Anthony Valente

Hebrews 11:6 says, “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”

It is beautiful to think about how faith pleases God. Whoever accepts Jesus puts his faith in Jesus. Faith is more than just confidence, it is an unwavering hope and trust in the One True God. It is taking Him at His Word and believing that He is who He says that He is. Faith is a spiritual gift. Whether it comes more naturally to you or you tend to wrestle with fear and doubt, we are going to approach the Lord today and ask boldly for more faith.

We each believe in Jesus by grace through faith for salvation, but after our faith continues to grow in our lives by walking each day learning to trust Him. Where are you lacking faith? What area of your life are you struggling to believe God in? Let’s come to Him today and ask for more faith through His Holy Spirit.

Let's Pray.

Dear Lord,
You are so good. You are the Savior of the world for anyone who places their faith in You. Thank You for the gift of salvation. Thank You for giving me the ability to grow in my trust in You each day. Thank You for giving me Your Word. Romans 10:17 says, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” I have faith today because of Your truth and Your gospel. Please help my personal walk to be propelled forward with You. Please lead me to new levels of faith. Help me not only to believe in You but to believe You. Give me open eyes to see the truth of Your Word and then the courage to walk in it.

You say in Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Would You please help me to have the assurance of the promises in Your Bible? Help me to have faith that my forgiveness comes from You, that I am truly Your child, and that I am free from sin and eternal separation. Help me to have faith that with You all things are possible, that even in my trials, You are working, and that living for You is the best path in life.

God, You say in Mark 11:22-24 that I should pray in faith, believing that You will work and answer. I am asking today that you would give me the strength to have even mustard-sized faith in my areas of weakness and struggle. Would You please give me the words to pray and the endurance to trust in You even in unknown or challenging circumstances? Please help me in my weaknesses to rely on You and have a renewed hope in You. Thank You for being sovereign and for hearing my prayers.

2 Corinthians 5:7 says, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” It is so easy in life to live based on what I can see in front of me. Where You are asking me to walk into the unknowns, would You equip me to walk by faith and not by sight? Would you give me the boldness to take every step with You? Even when Your ways do not make sense to me, remind me that Your ways are higher and better than my own. Give me the joy of the Spirit to walk with You.

God, is it tempting to put my faith in people over You? Would you help me to not rest in the wisdom of others but in Your power? (1 Corinthians 2:5) It is so easy to go to people who I can physically see, but I know that it is in You who I do not see where my true help comes from. Give me the ability to test what others say with Your Word. Help me to know when to move and when to wait. In Luke 17:5, Your disciples ask, “Increase our faith!” Please increase my faith today.

AMEN

Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear.
(Matthew 14:22-33)

So do not go on passing judgment before the appointed time, but wait until the Lord comes, for He will both bring to light the [secret] things that are hidden in darkness and disclose the motives of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.
(1 Corinthians 4:5)

(pic verse)
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
(Luke 15:4-7)
