I need more Faith.

Luk 17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, " Make our faith greater."

Of all the things the apostles could ask for, they asked for their faith to be increased. Jesus in the next verse told the apostles that if they had faith like a mustard seed, they will see and perform miracles. Everything in which our relationship with God dwells is born out of faith. Faith is the relationship with God. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

Heb 12:2 "Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God's throne".

Faith is not a feeling, but a way of life. Our feelings are all over the place most of the times. One day we wake up and feel great and we feel strong. A few hours later something happens and suddenly we feel weak. Through all this feelings our faith should be in control. Faith comes through knowing God and not through how good I feel.

This is why it is one of the nicest things the apostles could ask for more faith. If you ask God for a miracle in any situation it can only happen with your faith in God.

Like the apostles, I would like to ask God to make my faith greater.
