Faith that is beyond Knowledge and Understanding
The ways of God are always hard to fathom. That’s why having faith in Him means trusting in His goodness even if you can’t fully understand what’s going on. It’s not easy to believe in something that you can’t see. You need to surrender your own thoughts and understanding so that you can give God the chance to perform miracles. You can’t experience more of Him if you keep on holding on to the things you already know. Sometimes, all you need to do is believe in His promises, even if your situation doesn’t make sense. Faith exists when you keep your hopes up even if you can’t see what’s…

Father God, Please help my Unbelief
Father, I can’t do this without you. There are times when my mind is full of doubts. What if things will not go well? What if the pain will not end? What if this mess grows bigger? I’m just so tired. I hear so many voices in my head telling me to give up and stop everything that I’m doing. I hear a whisper that says, I am worthless. I know you are there, but why can’t I feel you? Why can’t I feel your love? Where are you, Lord? I need your help. Please increase my faith. It seems like I’m on my own now. I’m so lonely and…

Do you Believe that Jesus can Heal you?
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region. Matthew 9:27-31, NIV Jesus can heal people just like what He did to the…

The Faith of the Bleeding Woman
Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.

Will you still believe that He will heal your sickness? We can say from the…

Pray that God will give you these Kinds of Friends
A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that He had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and He preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to Him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get Him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 2: 1-5, NIV…
