God Needs Our Faith

Recently I was talking with the Lord, and I told Him something that I needed Him to do for me. Immediately, God spoke to my heart and said, “I need your faith!”

This was quite an eye-opening statement for me. Through these words, I realized that somehow I had weakened in faith and was asking God for help out of need and desperation rather than in faith. We can ask God for many things yet fail to attach our faith to our requests.

I encourage you to ask in faith, believing that God hears you and wants to meet your need. If you know a scripture on which you can base your request, you can remind God that you believe it and that you trust Him to keep His promises.

Praying the Word or filling your prayers with Scripture is a good thing to do. When we humbly remind God of His Word, it shows we are putting our trust in it and in Him. It also strengthens our faith while we wait for Him to answer us.
