Do you have faith?

When the sun sets at night, do you doubt that it will rise again in the morning? No! You simply believe it will come out, even though you cannot yet see it. That is faith!

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
- Hebrews 11:1

We can have the same faith in God because He never fails. Even when we cannot see Him, we can believe that God will not abandon us.

The Bible says that a little faith in God goes a long way. Whoever truly believes can move mountains. To see God’s miracles, you just need to believe and act.

On one occasion, a man brought his demon-possessed son to Jesus’ disciples to be healed, but they could not do it. The man then went to Jesus, knelt before Him, and begged Him to have mercy and heal his son. Jesus healed him immediately.

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
- Matthew 17:19–20

And you, do you have faith? Ask God today to increase your faith and help you live fully confident in His love and power. Do you have a need? Bring it to God in prayer and have faith, because He will act.

Pray and wait

Pray Continually
- 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Pray in the morning, at noon, and at night.
Pray when you wake up and when you go to sleep. Pray before eating and before making a decision. Pray for your family, your friends, your country. Pray for this world that so desperately needs our Lord.
In every situation, pray. Bring your requests before the Lord and wait. He will work!

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and His ears are attentive to their cry for help;

- Psalm 34:15

When the enemy plants doubt in your heart, draw near to your loving Father in prayer. The Lord will restore you and renew your faith. He never leaves or abandons you. You can go to Him at any moment and ask for His help.

When you feel sad or discouraged, remember all that God has already done for you. Recall all the answered prayers, all the ways He has cared for you through the years. God is faithful, and once again you will see His work in your life and circumstances. Pray and wait, for the Lord is near.

The Lord is near to all who call on Him,
to all who call on Him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him;
He hears their cry and saves them.

- Psalm 145:18–19

Draw near to God with confidence, present your requests, and wait because He will act.

A touch of the Holy Spirit

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
- 2 Timothy 1:7

In this world, there are many things that can discourage us, worries, unexpected situations, people… the list is long. However, those who believe in the Lord need only one thing to be encouraged: the touch of God’s Holy Spirit!

When we receive the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell within us. His presence transforms us, and as we remain faithful to God, seeking more of Him, we learn to be guided by His Spirit and to live according to His will.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
- Galatians 5:22–23

The Holy Spirit enables us to face the challenges that life presents and to do so in a way that glorifies the Father. With God’s Spirit in us, we learn to be strong in the midst of daily difficulties, knowing that we do not fight alone: God fights with us and for us!

Ask now for a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit, and you will see how you receive strength and courage to live each day for God’s glory. Allow the Holy Spirit to touch your heart today.
