By faith…
(Hebrews 11:3)
Faith is…
• expecting God to accomplish miracles through my five loaves and two fishes. He can use me.
• rejecting the feeling of panic when things seem out of control. He is in control.
• confidence in God’s faithfulness to me in an uncertain world. He holds the future.
• depending on the fact that God loves me, not on my ability to figure out how or why. He can be trusted.
• thanking God for his gift of emotional health, not assuming it all stems from my ability to cope with stress. He provides.
“…I do believe; help me to overcome my unbelief” (Mark 9:24).

“But I will keep on hoping for your help; I will praise you more and more. I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your saving power, though I am not skilled with words. I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign LORD. I will tell everyone that you alone are just. O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood, and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do. Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me. Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God? You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth. You will restore me to even greater honor and comfort me once again.” Psalms 71: 14-21 (NLT)
“Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. Our God is a God who saves! The Sovereign LORD rescues us from death.” Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death. Summon your power, O God; show us your strength, O God, as you have done before. You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!”
Psalms 68: 19,20,28,35 (NIV)
