You might feel like you are the only one.  But you are not.  This side of heaven - every believer has times when his or her faith is weak.  What does weak faith feel like?

When I’m weak in faith - 

I can doubt God’s forgiveness.  I’m not sure God loves me.  I don’t believe God is in control. I am tempted to pursue sin more than Jesus.  I worry about the future. I feel discouraged or blah.  And when faith is weak, we can feel like nothing will ever change - that we’ll never again be strong in faith or feel close to God.  Good News, no matter how weak your faith, God has the power to strengthen you. You can see that in -

Mark 9:24  - Where a man prays, “I believe, help my unbelief.”

Ephesians 3:16 - Where Paul prays that God would strengthen the faith of the church in Ephesus.

Luke 22:31-32 - Where Jesus prays that Peter’s faith would be strengthened.  The One who spoke a Universe into existence, who raised Lazarus from the dead, who brought Jericho’s walls down - can and will strengthen your faith.  But How?

First - Pray and Ask Jesus to Help Your Unbelief    Turn to Him just as you are  - with your weak faith -  and cry out to Him for help.  Ask Him to strengthen your faith.

Second -  Hear the Word of Christ.  “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”  (Romans 10:17)  Paul teaches that as we hear the Word of God, God will bring His power upon us and strengthen our faith.  This might happen quickly - or not.  But you can trust God’s timing.  And He WILL - in His perfect timing - strengthen your faith.  You will feel the Holy Spirit changing your heart, making Jesus more real to you, satisfying your soul, strengthening your faith.

There is a song I have been listening to recently- goes like this:

Out of the depths I cry to You - In darkest places I will call
Incline Your ear to me anew - And hear my cry for mercy, Lord
Were You to count my sinful ways - How could I come before Your throne
Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze - I stand redeemed by grace alone

I will wait for You - I will wait for You - On Your word, I will rely
I will wait for You - Surely wait for You - Till my soul is satisfied
