Millions lack faith to receive answers to their prayers, unable to free their minds from fears and worries, largely due to a misunderstanding of what faith truly is. Jesus Himself, foreseeing the almost total absence of faith in our time, asked if He would find faith on the earth at His second coming. Certainly, the world has nearly lost sight of real faith, leaving many to admit their faith is weak or difficult to muster. Without faith, none can be saved, yet Jesus demonstrated its power when He walked the earth, performing miracles not by His own strength but through faith in the Father who dwelt in Him. We, too, lack this power today, not because God withholds it, but because we are so entangled in a materialistic world, far from God, neglecting the study of His Word and earnest prayer, and thus not filled with the Holy Spirit. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen. It precedes possession, serving as the confidence that what is asked of God will be received, even before it is visible or felt. Faith is a spiritual matter, distinct from the physical senses, and when we pray for needs like healing, it is our evidence that God will act, not reliant on what we see or feel. In the trial of faith, where God is accused of failing to keep His promises, the evidence of faith—trust in His Word—must prevail over deceptive physical sensations. God does not specify when or how He will fulfill His promises, often delaying to teach patience and to try our faith, shaping our character. Faith must remain steadfast until God acts, for it is the condition precedent to receiving what He has promised. Faith is simple reliance on God's Word, the assurance that what He has said is true and that He will act accordingly. To build faith, one must search the Scriptures to know God's will, claim His promises with confidence, and trust Him to fulfill them in His way and time. Many lack faith because they seek feelings or convictions as assurance, but faith is solely tied to God's Word, not to emotions or impressions. Moreover, faith is a gift from God, not something we must strain to produce. We must relax and trust Him even for the faith required to receive His blessings. Drawing closer to God through surrender, prayer, and doing His will allows us to receive the very faith of Jesus, placed in us to act through us, transforming prayer into a joyous experience of spiritual connection.
