FAITH IS MY ENTIRE PERSON IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU, GOD, THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. (OSWALD CHAMBERS)
FAITH BY ITS VERY NATURE MUST BE TESTED AND TRIED. AND THE REAL TRIAL OF FAITH IS NOT THAT I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO TRUST YOU, GOD, BUT THAT YOUR CHARACTER MUST BE PROVEN AS TRUSTWORTHY IN MY OWN MIND. (OSWALD CHAMBERS)
FAITH, AS THE BIBLE TEACHES IT, GOD, IS FAITH IN YOU COMING AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT CONTRADICTS YOU - A FAITH THAT SAYS, “I WILL REMAIN TRUE TO GOD’S CHARACTER WHATEVER HE MAY DO.” (OSWALD CHAMBERS)
FAITH IS BELIEF; WITH THE PREDOMINATE IDEA OF TRUST IN YOU, GOD. [G4102 D] MK11:22
GOD, WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE YOU; AND IN COMING TO YOU, I MUST, AND DO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE; AND THAT YOU WILL REWARD ME THAT DILIGENTLY SEEKS YOU. HE11:6

LORD, JUST AS THE WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD, I HAVE FAITH IN YOUR POWER. HE1:3;LU8:43-48;1CO2:5;EP3:20
GOD, YOUR POWER FLOWED TO HER THAT DAY BECAUSE SHE BELIEVED IN HER HEART; AND SAID WITH HER MOUTH: "IF I MAY BUT TOUCH HIS GARMENT, I SHALL BE WHOLE." MT9:21;RO10:10
GOD, IF I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH; JN17:17 AND I "TRY" YOUR WORD TO SEE "IF IT WORKS"; I WILL SOON DEPART FROM IT; FOR MY LACK OF TRUST WILL NOT SUSTAIN ME DURING THE "TRYING" PERIOD. PS105:19
IF I "TRY" YOUR WORD AND "YOUR WORD FAILED"; IT IS THAT YOUR WORD TRIED ME; AND "I FAILED TO BELIEVE IT." PS105:19
GOD, YEARS AGO, WHEN I WAS 'PRAYING', YOU SAID TO ME "SOMEONE IS LISTENING." THAT AWAKENED ME TO THE FACT THAT I HAD BEEN SAYING THINGS MINDLESSLY.
YOU THEN TAUGHT ME TO PERSONALIZE EACH SCRIPTURE: IN ORDER TO TALK TO YOU DIRECTLY.
I WILL NOT FEAR.
DOUBT DESPAIRS, COMPLAINS, AND IS SAD.
FAITH REJOICES, GIVES THANKS, AND IS GLAD!

SATAN'S DISTRACTING THOUGHTS; LIES; AND FEAR ARE DESIGNED TO DISTORT THE HEARING OF GOD'S WORD; AND ARE ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE FAITH FROM 'COMING'. RO10:17
GOD, FAITH/TRUST COMES BY HOW I SAY YOUR WORD; AND HOW I HEAR IT.
IN BELIEVING THAT YOUR WORD IS THE TRUTH; I SAY IT WITH REVERENCE; AND I HEAR IT WITH AN ATTENTIVE EAR.
THE ENTRANCE OF YOUR WORDS GIVE LIGHT; IT GIVES UNDERSTANDING TO THE SIMPLE. [PS119:130]

ANY STEALING, KILLING, OR DESTRUCTION THAT I EXPERIENCED - CAME FROM SATAN; AND NOT FROM YOU, GOD - FOR SATAN DOES NOT COME BUT FOR TO STEAL, TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY. JN10:10

YOU WATCH OVER [H8245] YOUR WORD TO PERFORM IT. JE1:12

GOD, I TAKE HEED TO WHAT I HEAR. THE DEGREE OF HONOR THAT I GIVE TO YOUR WORD SHALL BE MEASURED BACK TO ME: AND IN HEARING, MORE SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO ME. MK4:24

GOD, ALL OF MY FLESHLY EFFORTS TO GRASP YOUR WORD PROFIT NOTHING. JN6:63
AS I CONTINUE TO CONFESS YOUR WORD, IT IS YOU THAT QUICKENS [G2227] JN6:63 YOUR WORD - MAKES IT COME ALIVE [G2227] TO ME.

GOD, AS I LAID IN BED ONE NIGHT - TRYING TO GO TO SLEEP; BUT HAVING TROUBLING THOUGHTS; YOU REMINDED ME OF WHAT I HAD LET SLIP: YOUR TEACHING ON HOW TO HANDLE CARES/ANXIETIES.
"HUMBLE YOURSELF UNDER THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD, THAT HE MAY EXALT YOU IN DUE TIME:
PLACING ALL OF YOUR CARE/ANXIETY UPON HIM; FOR HE CARES ABOUT YOU". 1PE5:7
GOD, I ACTED ON YOUR WORD.
IN FAITH, I SAID “GOD, I PLACE THIS CARE/ANXIETY ON YOU; FOR YOU CARE ABOUT ME”; AND IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS RELIEF AND CALM.
WHEN TROUBLING THOUGHTS CAME AGAIN, I DID THE SAME THING; AND HAD THE SAME PEACEFUL RESULT. WHAT A BLESSING!
I HAD A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.
GOD, I DO NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM YOUR MOUTH. MT4:4
