Increase my faith

 "And the apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith' (Luke 17:5).

The apostles prayed this prayer because they knew their faith was small; they knew they needed greater faith, and they knew who to turn to for it.

These same things I know, and I also have the same desire: greater faith. So, I want to ask the same: 'Increase my faith.'

Increase my faith, and holiness will increase in my life. I will have more strength to serve You, and my victories in the battle against sin will increase.

Increase my faith, and my joy and peace will increase.

Increase my faith, and my worries, doubts, and anxieties will disappear.

Increase my faith, and my desire for heavenly things will grow, and my thirst for Your Word will increase.

Increase my faith, and the fervency in my prayer will rise. The answers to my prayers and Your miracles will increase.

God increases faith through His Word because faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

So, I will listen to God's Word, remember the works He has done, the prayers He has answered, the blessings He has bestowed, and I will pray to grow in faith day by day.
