“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. And, without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Hebrews 11:1&6

Faith grows when we humble our hearts and allow Christ to lead us to the Father. In the calming presence of peace, we discover how it feels to find strength in Him. He provides opportunity for HOPE to grow and teaches how to BELIEVE He will handle all things. 

Jesus helps us remember the power of God’s greatness. And when distractions are silenced by our need to love Him more, He teaches how to trust. He sets the stage for what’s to come and shows how to faithfully follow. He reminds us our Father WILL do amazing things! 

God will lead us by His will. He will manage our days. As faith grows, we will learn to be patient, even when we can’t understand the purpose of His plan. He will show us how to seek Him with all of our hearts and learn how it feels to trust. God will reveal His will and we will find strength in the power of His love. And we will be rewarded, if we remain faithful. 

Dear God, Help us remember to begin this day in praise. Forgive us when we forget who’s in charge of all things. Teach us to trust in the power of Your plan. And allow us to gratefully be guided by Your everlasting love. Please lead us where HOPE will be found in the strength of our faithfulness. Amen
