Episode 404: Faith

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Faith

Father, you strengthen me with your power through your Spirit in my inner being. Christ dwells in my heart through faith and I am rooted and established in love. 

Faith is the confidence, the assurance for what I hope for. It is the title deed for what I do not yet see in the physical. It is what I live by. I live by faith, not by sight. And I know that without faith it is impossible to please you. Faith is the language you speak. I must come to you in faith, believing that you exist and that you will reward me when I earnestly seek you.

I love you, even though I have not seen you with my physical eyes. I believe in you and I am filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for I am receiving the end result of my faith, the salvation of my soul. I believe in you with all my heart, and I am justified. I profess my faith with my mouth, and I am saved.

Over and over Jesus told people it was their faith that healed them and made them whole. The same is true for me today. I am born of you. I am an overcomer. And the victory that overcomes the world is my faith.

I stand steadfast and on my guard, standing firm in the faith. I am courageous and strong. I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws.

In the gospel your righteousness is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from the first to the last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” So in Christ Jesus I am your child through faith. 

My faith is living and accompanied by action. I know that faith without works is dead. With faith, I know that nothing is impossible to me. I can tell a mountain to move, and it will move.

Faith comes from hearing your word, Father, so I read and study and listen to your word daily. I fix my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith. So I will fight the good fight of the faith. I take hold of the eternal life to which you called me when I made my good confession.

It is by grace I was saved, through faith—it wasn't because of anything I did myself. It is a gift from you, Father, so I cannot boast. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in your Son, who loved me and gave himself for me.

I do not think of myself more highly than I ought, but rather I think of myself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith you have distributed to me. Since I have been justified through faith, I have peace with you through my Lord Jesus Christ. This righteousness is given through faith in him to all who believe. 

In Christ Jesus the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. So I build myself up in my most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. I keep myself in your love as I wait for the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ to bring me to eternal life.

So be it.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
