Growing Our Faith One Step at a Time

Takeaway: We can ask God to help us grow our faith.

Context

This moment happens when the apostles are learning from Jesus. They’ve seen His miracles and teachings. Now, they feel they need more faith to follow Him fully. They’re not just asking for more belief. They want deeper trust and understanding.

Meaning

When the apostles ask Jesus to increase their faith, it shows they recognize their limits. They see faith as something that can grow. Isn’t that comforting? We all have moments when our faith feels small or shaky. Asking for more faith isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a step toward a stronger relationship with God. It’s like saying, “Help me believe more deeply.”

Faith isn’t just about believing in God’s existence. It’s about trusting Him in everyday life. It’s about leaning on Him when things get tough. We can pray for more faith, just like the apostles did. It invites God into our struggles and doubts. He meets us right where we are and helps us grow.

Live It

1. This week, write down one area where you want to grow in faith. Pray about it daily.
2. Reach out to someone who inspires your faith. Ask them how they stay strong.
3. When you face a challenge, pause. Take a deep breath and say a simple prayer for faith.
