Strengthening Faith During Testing! Part Three
“For you need endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what is promised.” Hebrews 10:36
Strengthening faith in God is one of the most important and rewarding aspects of being a Christian. The Bible contains encouraging verses that point to the power and rewards available to those who believe in Him. One such verse is Hebrews 10:36. This passage reflects how strengthening our faith can bring huge benefits from following His path.
Tough times don’t last, but tough people do. Strengthen your faith, and you will come out of any test victorious. Strengthened faith in God has many benefits that can positively impact one’s life. Here are some practical ways to grow and build your faith during trials: 1. Talk to God. It is often hard to feel close to God when we are going through tough times. However, He is always there waiting for us to talk to Him. He is a friend who will never leave us or forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5). 2. Read the Bible (Romans 10:17 and Romans 15:4). The Bible is full of stories of people who went through tough times, but they were able to overcome them because they had faith in God. Reading the Bible can help us to learn what God's plan is for us and give us the strength to face whatever we are going through. 3. Find a support group (Hebrews 10:25). There is nothing like sharing our struggles with others who understand what we are going through. There are many groups available for people of all faiths. Finding a group that meets regularly can be a great way to grow and build your faith. 4. Pray (Ephesians 6:18). Prayer is a powerful way to connect with God. Prayer can be used to ask for help, give thanks, and make requests. Praying regularly can help to strengthen your faith. 5. Serve others (Galatians 6:9). When we are focused on helping others, we often forget about our troubles. Serving others is a great way to show your faith in God and help others who are going through a tough time.
Having faith in God can help us get through anything. Therefore, it is important to focus on growing and building our faith during a tough time. These are just a few of the ways that we can do this. No matter our life struggles, we can find comfort in the Bible. Romans 5:4 says, “And endurance produces character, and character produces hope.” Amen.
Prayer:
Oh Lord, I come before you today with open arms and a ready heart. I seek your guidance and grace to build me into whom you desire me to be so that I might live out my purpose in life for your glory. In Jesus. Amen.
