Ways to Strengthen Your Faith

We all experience a down low on faith. These are those moment when doubts fill our hearts, causing us to loosen our grip on the Lord. These are episodes in our lives which we have control over. We can either fight the second thoughts about our faith or let it overpower us and jeopardize our relationship with God. On the other hand, we all know that the best way to go in the face of such situations is to hold on and never let go of our belief.

If you feel like losing the zeal for your spirituality lately, do not fret. To help you strengthen the shaky foundations of your faith, I have listed some tips that you can consider.

1. Pray.
Praying is the foremost form of communication with the Lord. It is constant communication that saves any relationship, and with God, the same rule applies. In your prayers, thank Him for all the blessings He has bestowed upon you. Do not forget to surrender to Him all your doubts and troubles. Let Him take the wheel of your life. Most importantly, ask Him for strength to go on living your faith.

2. Read the Bible for inspiration.
The Bible is a compilation of God’s works, words, and wonders. The only way you could strengthen your faith in something and someone is by knowing more of Him. By reading the Bible, you would know about God and His promises to those who believe in Him.

3. Be in the company of good people.
Being around good and positive people also helps in keeping your faith in tact. They could provide you with the moral boost you need to go on and live your faith. Have you ever noticed how being around negative people bring you down? Yes, it is sometimes that environment and the people around us that cause us to sin and doubt the power of the Lord. Being with good people fuels your drive to follow the path of Christ.

Faith requires work. May God give us strength to work on our faith.
