To Grow My Faith

Holy Spirit,
How can we possibly determine the value of the priceless gift of faith which you have given us? By faith, our eyes have been opened to see our Savior, who has secured our salvation and who provides us with peace and purpose in life. Therefore, I ask you to increase my faith so that it continues to cling ever so tightly to you and does not waver or doubt. Since I know you carry out this vital work through your Word, draw me into it more consistently and direct me to think on it deeply. Lead me also to crave Communion, by which you refresh and restore my soul, and to rejoice in my baptism, by which you claimed me as your own. Use your Word in all these wonderful ways to grow in me a faith that delights in fixing my eyes increasingly on my Jesus. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For the Ongoing Pursuit of Growth

Loving Lord,
When you called me to faith, you called me to a life of growth. While our physical bodies are limited by how much they can grow before they start to decline, our faith can always grow, no matter our age or circumstances. However, this kind of spiritual growth doesn’t happen accidentally, but intentionally. It happens when we are deliberate about prioritizing your Word in our lives. And, while we may tend to think of growth happening in ideal settings and surroundings, it often happens in scenarios that are anything but. Adversity and affliction can be accelerators of growth if we let them, as those are the experiences which easily strip us of self-reliance and steer us toward our Savior. No matter what season of life we’re in, give us faith eyes that see favorable opportunities to grow closer to you. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
