Press back in Faith

Have you ever felt like doubt was winning in your mind? You want to believe God, but there’s always something that puts a pause in your spiritual walk. Sometimes you want to give up because it seems easier than pressing past the circumstances surrounding your life. Yet, there’s nothing on earth that can stop us when we stand our ground in faith. How do we press back with faith?

We press back in faith with God’s word.
“Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” (Romans 10:17) When we are faced with doubt, we cling to God’s word because He never lies and His promises are secure.

We press back in faith with prayer.
“LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty.” (2 Chronicles 14:11) When we are surrounded by doubt, we can pray to God for renewed strength and faith to believe against the impossible.

We press back in faith with Christian fellowship.
“All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.” (Acts 4:32) When we feel the pressures of doubt, we can share with other believers and renew our faith by the word of their testimony.

We press back in faith with action.
“As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.” (James 2:26) When the clouds of doubt descend on our minds, we can take action by stepping out on faith even though we don’t see with our eyes.

We press back in faith with perseverance.
“The testing of your faith produces perseverance.” (James 1:3) When doubt rises up like an immovable mountain in our minds, we can recognize that the testing of our faith is going to build our spiritual endurance to overcome it.

Prayer

Dear Lord, I want to press back against doubt with faith. Show me the areas of my life that I can begin to build up my faith in You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

In His Service,
