| Praying God's Promises Faith |
| I say to the Lord, "Increase my faith!" Luke 17:5 Personalized For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." Romans 1:17 Therefore, since I have been justified through faith, I have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom I have gained access by faith into this grace in which I now stand. And I rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2 Personalized For by the grace given me I say: I will not think of myself more highly than I ought, but rather think of myself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given me Romans 12:3 Personalized I live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 Personalized Now faith is being sure of what I hope for and certain of what I do not see. Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:1/6 Personalized Let me fix my eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 Personalized These have come so that my faith — of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire — may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though I have not seen him, I love him; and even though I do not see him now, I believe in him and am filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for I am receiving the goal of my faith, the salvation of my soul. 1 Peter 1:7-9 Personalized Everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even my faith. 1 John 5:4 Personalized Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? I see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. You see I am justified by what I do and not by faith alone. In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. James 2:21-26 Personalized |
