Increase Our Faith

Luke 17:5. And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

No doubt the apostles had faith in Jesus, so why did they ask this question? They had cares, concerns, worries, questions and all other thoughts. Things that weighed on their mind while being right there in the presence of Jesus. They just reassurance! They needed to be strengthened. And we do too! We live in a fallen world and things happen. Life can be stressful. And yet we have the presence of Christ with us in the person of the Holy Spirit within us. But we still need to ask the Lord to increase our faith daily, so that when things come up we will not be swayed or caught off guard. But will we be prepared ahead of time? Will we be on the offensive instead of the defensive? Much of it depends on our faith.

We do not have to live a defeated life. Some days we feel we are in constant battle mode. But we can face the challenges of the day by giving them to the Lord and move on In faith and trust!!! We just have to ask the Lord for help!
