Complete Faith

I have faith. I think that I have deep faith.  The reason I said I think is because I have doubt.  I have had faith in God for a long, long time. I still nourish doubt in my life as well. I can’t seem to get it pushed out the door of my heart.

I’ve seen ridiculous faith in others. I know people who have done some incredible things because of their faith in God. They feel directed to go and to do by Creator God. I know what that prompting feels like as well. In fact I ask God often what He wants me to do and where He wants me to go.  When teaching His disciples about faith, Jesus takes it to a whole new level. Check this out…

I don’t think that my faith will move mountains. Please don’t misunderstand – I believe that God can do anything He wants. I just don’t think the mountain will literally move when I ask Him in faith. I’ve seen people with that strong of faith. I believe that God can heal anyone. I can’t explain why He don’t heal someone that I know has been prayed for with deep faith. I don’t understand why God doesn’t change bad circumstances in an instant when believers pray bold, audacious prayers.

I think the reason I doubt is because I don’t believe that my bold prayer is what is best. I do believe that God has my best interest at heart. I don’t always understand what is happening to my family and me at the moment, but I trust Him. I trust His heart. I trust His Will for my life. When I have this level of deep faith in God, I’m not just looking to move mountains – I’m moving my heart closer to His heart.  I don’t think my faith will be complete until I stand in His Presence for eternity.  Until then I will seek His heart through His Word and through my prayer conversations with Him. I want my faith to grow stronger and deeper every day.
