When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance. Faith is trusting God even when you don’t understand his plan. Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what’s best for your Life. Faith is not something you just have; it is something you constantly have to work forward. Faith, is not a feeling, it’s a decision you make every day. Faith according to me is that no matter what lies ahead of me, God is already there.
Faith is the willingness to risk anything on God. Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is a belief that God will do what is right. I am proud of the fact that my faith in God is so much stronger and I am so much more at peace with myself. Having faith in God changes everything. Life can be full of unexpected things, either happy or sad, but no matter what things may happen, just always keep a loving heart, a wise mind and a strong faith in God who will always stay with us through all the journey of our Life. Always pray to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad and a soul that never loses faith in God.
Faith is simply your response to the message of God’s love and grace.
We all have our days where we feel we can’t survive. Sometimes dreams are shattered, friendships may fall apart, loved ones may hurt us, finances may worry us, and sickness may over take us. We may even lose the ones we love. But God will always be there to guide us through even the roughest of times. Never lose faith. Hold onto hope. And trust in God always. Faith is like Wi-Fi it’s invisible but it has the power to connect you to what you need.
There’s no storm that God won’t carry you through. No bridge that God won’t help you cross. No battle that God won’t help you win. No heartache that God won’t help you let go of. He is so much bigger than anything you will face today. Leave everything in His hands and embrace this day confidently knowing that He will take care of you. Have faith in God. Faith is like the light that guides you through darkness. Every time I count my blessings, my love for God grows bigger. And every time I count my struggles my faith in God grows bigger. God has a perfect plan for us. He never does it all at once just step by step because he wants to teach us to walk by Faith.
Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul; you cannot live in health without them. Let your faith be bigger than you fears. Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. In everything, have faith in God’s love and wisdom at work in your life. In everything that has already occurred, choose to have faith and know that God’s presence and power were active. In everything happening in this moment, have faith that God is present and in control of all details. I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you’re grateful, you will see God open up new doors. Let your life reflect the faith you have in God. Fear nothing and pray about everything. Be strong, trust God’s word, and trust the process.
Faith is not the belief that everything will be all right tomorrow, but the belief that I possess the strength to make everything all right today. He knows that as long as a man keeps his faith in God and in himself nothing can permanently defeat him. Build a strong faith in God through daily commitment in reading and obeying God’s word. Faith in God is the instrument which enables men and women to remove the hills of difficulty which block their path. The grace, faith, love and power of God will uplift you to greater heights.
