I was looking through my prayer journal last night. It seemed like there was a bit of a theme this year in asking God to increase my faith. I’ve felt in this past year that I was very small and very weak and that my faith was even smaller. (My Faith. Not Who my faith was in)
I knew God could. But I didn’t always trust that He would. (Would make things work together for good)

In my mind “God increasing my faith” meant answered prayers and open doors.

But maybe God’s way of increasing faith is by taking us through rough spots and helping us come through storms. By holding our hand and even carrying us through the deserts when we’re tired, worn and drained. Maybe it’s Him helping us walk on the waters.

Dear Jesus,
I had been praying that you’d answer my prayers soon so that it would increase my faith...(I’m still praying that )
But maybe it’s the “As long as it takes” prayers that are meant to increase faith.

I get impatient when I think that what I want is best.
But then again... maybe it’s satan trying to get me to give up.
Can my prayers really equip an army??!!
A heavenly army?!!

Lord, increase my faith!!
Amen!
