And Jesus Answered
Scripture:
“And Jesus answered, saying to them, ‘Have faith in God.’”
— Mark 11:22 (NASB)
Encouraging Message:
If Jesus Himself gave this simple yet profound answer—"Have faith in God"—why do we still struggle with it?
The truth is, faith grows through relationship.
Think about it: Do you easily trust someone you don’t know? Probably not. Yet, we often place blind faith in celebrities, influencers, and public figures—people we’ve never met—based on what we’ve seen or heard. If we can give that level of trust to humans, why do we hesitate with the One who created us, who loves us, and who walks with us daily?
Faith isn’t just about believing in God’s existence. It’s about knowing Him.
The more time we spend with God—through prayer, reflection, and reading His Word—the more familiar His voice becomes. And in that familiarity, faith takes root and grows.
True faith brings more than just answered prayers—it brings peace, stability, joy, and fulfillment, even in the midst of uncertainty.
Reflection:
What steps can you take to strengthen your relationship with God?
How has faith—or the lack of it—shaped your decisions and outcomes?
Journaling Prompt:
Write down one intentional way you can build your faith today.
(Example: setting aside 10 minutes for uninterrupted prayer, reading a psalm, journaling your thoughts to God.)
Closing Prayer:
Father God, I thank You for the gentle reminder to simply have faith in You. Teach me to draw closer to You so that my trust may deepen. Help me remove distractions and excuses and make time to know You more. Increase my faith, Lord, and let it anchor me through every season. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
