What Is Faith?

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." - Hebrews 11:1

When you cry out "Lord, help me, listen to me," what do you expect to happen? Many of you do not get what you ask for because you really do not believe, you're full of doubt. It has been said many times that one needs faith to see the hand of God, but what is faith? Saint Paul says it is being sure of what you hope for. This means that instead of asking for something you should already be thanking the Lord for it because your faith in Him tells you and confirms to you that the Lord is already working to bring you want you want and need. When Paul says it is being certain of what you do not see, you need to believe more than 100% that Jesus Christ, the Lord Almighty, is with you. Because you do not see Him, because He does not talk to you does not mean He is not there with you! On the contrary, blessed are you if you have believed in Him without ever laying eyes on Him for your reward will be greater in Heaven! When I enter a church or when I kneel down in my room to pray to Him, His presence overwhelms me. He fills me with joy and the tears flow down my cheeks. Did He appear to me and say "Audrey, I am here, believe in me?" No, but the eyes of my faith have seen Him and nobody can tell me otherwise!!! This is faith!! If you want to see God active in your life, work on your faith!! Be sure of what you have asked God for and be certain of what you have not seen because God operates for the motives of your soul and your eternal salvation, not for your corporeal senses!

Today's Prayer:
Thank you Lord Jesus for being most active in me when I do not see You or feel You with my senses. Thank You Jesus for strengthening my faith and being more real to me than if You were standing right in front of me in body. May I always see You in this way. In Your Name we pray, Amen.
