7 Days to Strengthen Your Faith预览

Day 1: Building Awareness of Your Faith Life

Hello, beloved! Welcome to the first day of your renewed, invigorated faith walk!

In this Bible Plan, we will examine one short Scripture passage each day. Then, we will pray through it with a brief series of bullet-point prayers. Each day, our goal is to strengthen our faith by gaining greater revelation about the importance of faith in our lives, and how faith WORKS.

As you strengthen your faith each day, your confidence in God will grow–and you will also begin feeling more brave and willing to go on the great adventures God has for you!

Friend, I want to encourage you right now about the importance of your faith.

Your faith is the conduit through which you receive from God. Everything that God does for you, He does through your faith. The Bible tells us that all of His works are done in you and for you when you believe. As it says in Hebrews 11:6:

“But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV).

So, what do you need God to do in you and for you today?

No matter what you need, you’ll have to have faith to obtain it. James 1:6-8 tells us that the person who doubts won’t receive ANYTHING from the Lord. Therefore, as you walk through the journey of life, it helps to be acutely aware of the status of your faith at all times. That way, when your faith is low, you can build it up on purpose.

So, let’s pray today and ask the Lord to increase our awareness of the importance of faith.

Pray as follows:

• Thank the Lord for saving you by faith.
• Praise Him for His goodness and faithfulness to you.
• Acknowledge to the Lord that His Word says that he who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
• Acknowledge to Him that you need some help in your faith. (We all do!) Ask Him to help you believe in Him, and to believe that He is a rewarder.
• Ask Him to fill you with His Spirit of wisdom and revelation, and to give you deep, gut-level, heartfelt revelation about how important faith is to God.
• Pray that the Lord would convict you of any doubt or unbelief in your life. Confess and repent for any doubt or unbelief that He shows you. Ask Him to forgive you for doubt and unbelief, and to fill you with His Holy Spirit where those things were.
• Ask Jesus to help you transform and condition your mind to believe Him, and to believe His Word.
• Ask Him to help you hear His on-time words that His Holy Spirit is speaking to you every day, for faith comes by hearing Him speak directly to you.
• Thank Him that His Word is true, and it abides forever!

Friend, it takes effort to strengthen your faith.

But, the effort is not too difficult. You simply have to choose every day to believe God.

Despite what circumstances say around you, it is by FAITH, not by works, that everything good happens in your life–and by FAITH we draw near to God! Pray about your faith all day long today, and enjoy this journey of 7 Days to Strengthen Your Faith!
