SCRIPTURES

Romans 1:16-17, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” (NKJV)

Luke 17:5-6, “And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith. ”So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.” (NKJV)

PRAYER

Father, my faith will increase as You are revealed in my life. I ask that You would open my eyes to see, open my ears to hear, and soften my heart to receive the seed of your Word.  Jesus, You have called me to live a life that only You can provide. It is a life that is abundant and overflowing. Let this truth fill my life with all of Your richness so that I may be testimony of it. I ask for Your grace so that I can be a tangible expression of faith: living by faith, demonstrating the gift of faith, and representing the fruit of faith. All of these are only possible through You. I choose to plant my life in Yours and live confidently in Your Word and ways.
