An Easy Way to Build Your Faith

This simple exercise can help you enrich your prayer life.

Everything great begins small: trees, people, ideas. So start where you are with whatever faith you do have. That is the first technique in faith building. And the second is this: Make sure that little faith is real. Jesus said, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20). With even a small amount of faith, you can push aside great, mountainous difficulties. The power of the little thing that is vital and full of sincerity cannot be minimized.

Ask yourself: How absolutely honest is this little faith that I do have? Next, start whittling away all the irrelevancies and get down to the central essence of faith.

• Do you believe in God?

• Do you believe that God and Christ are with you and that they will help you?

• Do you believe in yourself and in life?

Belief in a few basic realities is the important factor in building faith. “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love” (1 Corinthians 16:13-14).

Finally, don’t worry about the mass of things that you feel you are supposed to believe. Simply believe that Jesus Christ is with you, helping you now, and that through him your life can be changed.
