Faith That Grows

This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. -1 John 5:14-15 NASB


I think faith can be so hard at times. So many things get in the way of believing something to be true when we haven’t seen the results. There was a time in my life when I was praying about a certain situation that I knew to be biblical and God’s will. As I prayed, I had confidence that what I was praying for would happen. After weeks, months, and over a year of silence, what I had strongly believed transpired. However, there are things I am still waiting on. And I don’t want to make a mistake by doubting or getting impatient with God like Abraham and Sarah.


God had promised Abraham and Sarah a child- Isaac. After waiting too long according to their timeline, they took matters into their own hands to parent a child from another birth mother whose child was not the promised child, this child was Ishmael. (Genesis 15:5; 22:17) There were consequences to their mistake. Faith roots our trust in God, His ways, timing, and purpose. Faith in who He is and clarity of His voice. The more we know God, listen, and act upon what He has told us the easier it is to believe God which enriches our faith.


Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us each a measure of faith and the freedom to believe Your promises. May Your loving kindness keep us humble before You as we wait expectantly for Your will to be accomplished on earth as it is in heaven. (Hebrews 11:1 Romans 12:3; Psalm 117:2; John 7:17; Matthew 6:10; Romans 8:25)
