FAITH
Heavenly Father, help my faith. I do not want to waiver in the winds of trials, but rather, to stand strong in my faith. Lord, when the doubts of this world start to creep in, remind me of Your eternal truth and that the only place to place my faith is in You and in Your ways. Amen.
"I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on heaven's tableland;

And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
