Nurturing Our Faith

Nurturing Our Faith…

Today, let’s explore how faith takes root—and how we can nurture it every day.

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.  Romans 10:17

Faith isn’t a fire we kindle by force—it’s a flame sparked by hearing. It doesn’t rise from within us through sheer effort. It’s awakened by exposure—exposure to the voice that spoke galaxies into existence, silenced storms, cast out fear, and called dead things back to life.

If your faith feels faint today, maybe it’s not because you’re failing—but because you’re not hearing. Not listening deeply. Not lingering long enough in the Word that breathes life. We can’t expect strong faith while feeding on silence—or worse, on the noise of the world.

You don’t need more willpower to believe—you need more of His Word resounding in your soul.

When you open Scripture, you’re not checking a box—you’re inviting faith to rise. When you lean into worship or biblical teaching, you’re feeding the very thing that anchors your soul.

So don’t give up—lean in. Open your Bible. Open your heart. Because when Jesus speaks, even the smallest faith becomes enough to move mountains.

Heavenly Father, Sometimes, my faith feels small, not because I’ve stopped believing—but because I’ve allowed other voices to grow louder than Yours. Forgive me for filling my heart with noise that drowns out Your wisdom and love. I don’t want to strive harder—I want to draw closer. Speak again, Lord. Let Your Word echo in the quiet places of my soul. Awaken faith where it’s grown dim. Anchor me in Your presence, and help me lean in—not out of duty, but devotion. You are the voice my heart needs most. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
