“The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Show us how to increase our faith.” – Luke 17:5
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard anyone say, “I have enough faith. I don’t need anymore.”
We can always use more faith- especially when it comes to our infertility journeys.
The dictionary defines faith as “complete trust or confidence in someone or something,” and Hebrews 11:1 says it’s the “confidence that what we hope for will actually happen [and] assurance about things we cannot see.”
More trust? More confidence? More assurance?
Yes, please!
So how do we increase our faith?
Romans 10:17 gives us simple instructions: Faith comes from hearing the Word of Christ. In other words, faith comes through Scripture.
The more we hear, read, and meditate on Christ’s words (Scripture), the more our faith will increase.
This doesn’t mean we need to spend 6 hours a day reading our Bible. We should however, make an effort to be hearing and reading God’s Word on a regular basis.
I sometimes have trouble reading my Bible consistently, so I have to get creative. I’ve really enjoyed listening to the audio version of certain translations available on the Bible Gateway app and website. I also love listening to sermons and Scripture meditation podcasts like Pray as You Go.
As you pray for increased faith today, ask God to give you a love and hunger for His Word.
