Does 'have faith in God' mean I'll never face hard times?

No. Faith in God doesn't remove difficulty—it means trusting that God is with you and working for good even in hard seasons. Jesus Himself faced tremendous suffering while maintaining perfect faith in His Father.

How do I have faith when I don't feel it?

Faith is a choice, not just a feeling. You can choose to trust God's character and promises even when emotions lag behind. Start by speaking truth aloud, praying honestly, and taking small steps of obedience.

Why did Jesus command this instead of just asking nicely?

Jesus's command shows how essential faith is. It's not optional—it's foundational to a healthy relationship with God and to experiencing His peace and provision in daily life.

Have Faith in God

Anchor

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.”

— Mark 11:22 (NIV)

What it means

Jesus speaks directly to His disciples, calling them to place their trust completely in God. This isn't a suggestion or a nice idea—it's a command rooted in Jesus's own confidence in His Father. When we have faith in God, we're anchoring our lives to the One who is completely trustworthy and faithful.

In your life

Today, you'll face moments that tempt you to worry: an uncertain situation at work, a health concern, a strained relationship. Jesus's command invites you to pause and redirect your trust toward God instead of your circumstances. Having faith in God means believing He is good, He is present, and He cares about what matters to you.

Today's challenge

Practicing Trust Today

1Identify one worry or concern on your heart right now, and write it down.
2Speak aloud: 'Jesus, I choose to have faith in God with this situation,' naming it specifically.
3Take one small action today that shows you trust God with this—whether that's praying, sharing it with a trusted friend, or simply letting go of trying to control the outcome.

Prayer

Jesus, help me trust God completely with what I cannot control, just as You did.

Reflect

What situation in my life right now is asking me to choose faith in God instead of fear?
