Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God. 6And it is impossible to please God without faith.
No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.
Lord God,
May I put my faith in your plan for me, Lord help me to see from your purpose not my own. May I please you with my faith and may it stay focused on you. Lord God, help me to accept your discipline and be shaped by it to your image.
In Jesus name,
Amen
