And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. (Hebrews 11:6, NLT)
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. 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. 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. 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. Amen.
