There are times when Jesus will test our faith in different situations I assume to see if we will rely on Him completely or if we will turn back to our own understanding. In this context I am trying to think of Jesus as a personal trainer who helps us to exercise our faith through repetitions which ultimately helps us to build our endurance. Just as a father wants to see his children grow strong so does our Heavenly Father want to see us grow strong in faith and spirit.
Father, help me to not rely on my own understanding, but to cling to you in all things. When I am faced with challenging situations and my faith begins to dwindle guide my heart and renew me Lord so that I may continue to stand strong in the faith that I am just beginning to scratch the surface on, Amen.
