Increased Faith

"The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"  He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you."  Luke 17:5-6

"Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God

whose ways you may not understand at the time." 

--Oswald Chambers

Oh, how I pray Lord, that our children have a "deliberate confidence" in you!  Increase Alyssa and Kyle's faith, dear Jesus.  I pray that faith will find root and grow in their hearts, that by faith they may gain what has been promised to them.  With faith in you, all things are possible.  May they not struggle to believe, hope, and act on your calling because fear has overtaken them, but make their faith the stronger contender.  Lord, thank you for the wonderful ways you'll increase their faith!
