5 SIMPLE WAYS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH:
1. TRUST
This one is a bit obvious, but sometimes the hardest to execute. We must trust Him in all things.
It’s commanded in Proverbs 3:5, but here we see Jesus commanding it again.
Have faith in God, have complete trust and complete confidence.
If we have faith in God feelings of worry, stress, anxiety, fear, and doubt should never surface.
If we have faith in God, then we completely trust that He will provide all provision needed.
Not only do we trust Him to provide provision, but we are completely confident that He will provide us with an abundant life as well!
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
Matthew 6:25-27
2: PRAY
Like you mean it! Pray like God is in the room sitting right beside you.
Mark 11:23 instructs us to pray without doubt in our hearts, and believe that what we say will happen.
In the same verse Jesus says that if we do this, it will be done for us.
It’s okay to lift up our every need to God. It’s okay to give Him every single one of our burdens, worries, and fears. It’s okay to ask God to intervene in our lives, and ask Him for the provisions we need. He wants to hear our voices, and He wants a personal relationship with each and everyone of us.
Daily prayer will invite God into our lives and help us establish a deeper trust. Our faith will grow stronger as we release the power of prayer in our lives. I believe that any form of prayer is okay, formal or informal, as long as you’re communicating with God, it’s always good. We are instructed to pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances. Therefore, to truly exercise faith in our lives we must live a prayerful life, constantly reaching out to God.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Practical application: Start every day with prayer! I do believe sitting in the presence of God is important and I do think there are times when God deserves my undivided attention. I don’t have a special prayer closet or a prayer room. I do however have a silent kitchen at 5:15am every morning. While the coffee pot brews the first pot of coffee, I reach out to God. I’m simply thanking Him for the blessings and provisions He has given me and asking Him to lead me and guide me through my day.
I know it sounds really simple, but God already knows all my needs, and honestly He probably knows them even better than I do. I just want Him to know that I need Him and I want Him in my day. I send up quick prayers throughout the rest of the day. Some are in thankfulness, while others are asking for more guidance, wisdom, and knowledge. A great deal are for people, I love to pray for people.
Ephesians 6:18
3: READ SCRIPTURES
We must know the Word of God! We must make time to sit down and curl up with our Bibles.
We need His Word inside, in our minds and in our hearts.
Knowing God’s Word goes hand in hand with trusting God and praying.
Read His promises, and then have great faith in God, that they will come to pass.
Pray them over your life. In God’s Word we will find strength, hope, love, peace, and joy.
We will also find promises of provision, and instructions to keep us away from sin and rebuke the devil.
We will gain wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in our lives through His instructions.
Read Matthew 17:20, and then believe that faith can move mountains. Read Philippians 4:19 and have faith that God will supply all your needs. Read Malachi 3:10 and believe that if God is first in your finances He will pour out blessings for you until they overflow. Read Ephesians 6:10-17 and know that you have The Amour of God, what can possibly come against you.
4: LIVE OUT HIS WORD
We’ve done all that reading, studying, and note taking, now it’s time to start using our knowledge.
Applying the Word of God to the lives we live, will deepen our walk with Him and strengthen our faith.
5: BE THE LIGHT
You are the light of the world, so shine bright my darling friend. We are to be loving and caring towards each other. We are to be encouraging, and build one another up. We should be joyful people, who don’t spend our days complaining.
