Meaning

When Jesus says to have faith in God, He is inviting us into a deeper relationship with Him. Faith isn’t just a feeling; it’s a choice we make every day. It means believing that God is who He says He is and that He can do what He promises. Life can throw a lot at us. Sometimes it feels overwhelming. But Jesus reminds us that faith can be our anchor. It gives us strength when we feel weak.

Faith helps us see beyond our current struggles. It changes our perspective. When we trust God, we start to notice His guidance in our lives. We become more aware of His presence. This doesn’t mean life will be easy. Challenges will come. However, when we lean on God, we can face those challenges with hope and courage.

2. Write down three things you are grateful for this week. Thank God for each of them.
