If your faith is strong enough, she'll be healed.' If I've heard that once, I've heard it a thousand times. The problem is, when someone tells you that, they're not asking you to put faith in the power of God; they're asking you to put faith in the power of your own faith. And I can't even pretend that my mustard-seed faith measures up to the promises of God.
“Clearly, the faith community plays a key role in energizing people to serve others. Our experience is that faith often prompts individuals to serve others, and faith communities often organize volunteer opportunities for their members.”
Prayer is not meant to always give us the answers we want. It is not the resting place upon which the scales of our faith and trust are balanced. It is not the reason for faith, but rather the result of a faith we already have.
Faith has won it! Fear has lost it! When you get full of faith, the devil gets filled with fear! Keep your faith in light every day and you will keep the devil in fright always!
Praying because you're afraid is not like praying because you have faith. Faith and fear never meet. If you are faithful and still feel scared, it's whether you're not praying right or not praying at all.
May it not be that, just as we have to have faith in Him, God has to have faith in us and, considering the history of the human race so far, may it not be that 'faith' is even more difficult for Him than it is for us?
“The division between faith and reason is a half-measure, till it is frankly admitted that faith has to do with fiction, and reason with fact”
To create a community where faith matters not just in theory but in reality, faith has to be a public value, not just a private one.
Don't throw away your faith because doubt is present, throw away your doubts because faith is present
How much faith you put in a prayer is more important than how much you pray without faith.
