She Believes: Embracing The Life You Were Created To Live

DAY 2 OF 5

 What does it mean to believe? Why do so many of us tend to overcomplicate faith when it's actually meant to be very simple? Today, let's take a closer look at God's promise to answer our prayers when we come to him in faith. I hope you'll view this as a time where you began to strengthen your faith and pray more boldly and personally to a God who longs to answer you, his beloved daughter.

Believing Your Heart Can Change

Let me ask you this: What are you walking through right now that you are desperately needing help with? And who or what are you trusting in for help and hope for your situation? The truth is, the answer to every challenge and difficulty that you face is found in one place—having faith that God will help you. Believing that God is real is one thing; believing that he cares about you and will respond to you when you pray to him is a whole different thing. He wants you to grow in your faith, from just believing that he is real to believing in him for every single area of your life.

So you might ask, "How do I take that step? How do I grow in my faith and trust in God?"

Your relationship with God began by faith when you made the decision to believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior and follow him with all your heart. The Bible says that every believer is given a measure of faith. The question isn't do you have faith, but are you standing confidently on the faith you have been given? Are you believing God for what you need? That, my friend, is how your faith will start to grow—by using what you have!

Matthew 21:21-22 (AMP-CE): And Jesus answered them, Truly I say to you, if you have faith (a firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done. And whatever you ask for in prayer, having faith and [really] believing, you will receive. 

In this passage, Jesus caused a fig tree to wither right before his disciples' eyes, and then, using that as an example, he challenged them to start using their faith to pray bold, believing prayers. 

Do you believe God answers prayer? How does your faith affect the way you pray? If you ask God to help your faith in him to grow, what do you think will happen?

My Faith Declaration

I believe that God cares about whatever I am going through. Like a loving father, he is patiently waiting for me to look to him and ask for his help. With the faith I have in this moment, I choose to believe that he is going to hear my prayer. And as he empowers me to pray with confidence, I will wait with anticipation, knowing that as I ask according to God's will for my life, he will respond to me and help me with my situation.
