how to grow your faith

 

“I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” – Ephesians 3:17-18

 

Faith doesn’t grow overnight. It’s not a switch you can flip or a checklist you can complete. Faith is cultivated—nurtured—through daily choices, moments of trust, and God’s quiet work in the depths of our hearts. You're not alone if you’ve ever felt stuck or longed for a deeper connection with God. The good news? Faith grows one step at a time. God meets us in the middle of our willingness to grow, no matter how small it feels.

 

Grow Your Faith by Spending Time with God

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” – Romans 10:17

The Word of God fuels faith. Scripture isn’t just a collection of stories or wisdom—it’s living, breathing truth that strengthens and sustains your soul. When you immerse yourself in God’s Word, you allow Him to speak into your life.

  • Start small: read a Psalm each morning or choose one verse to meditate on throughout the day.
  • Join a Bible study in person or find one online where you can explore scripture with others.
  • Write a verse on a sticky note, put it on your mirror, and allow it to remind you of God’s promises when life feels overwhelming.

 

Grow Your Faith by Stepping Out in Trust

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7

Faith doesn’t grow in comfort zones. It grows in the moments where you say “yes” to God, even when you’re unsure of the outcome. The truth is trust requires action. Every time you take a step of obedience—no matter how small—you flex that spiritual muscle. You’re saying, “God, I trust you more than I trust my fear.”

  • Is God nudging you to start something new—a ministry, a conversation, a habit?
  • Is He asking you to forgive someone, even when it feels impossible?
  • Are you in a season where trusting His provision feels like a leap of faith?

 

 

Grow Your Faith by Remembering God’s Faithfulness

“I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.” – Psalm 77:11

 

One of the most powerful ways to grow your faith is to look back and remember where God has been faithful. Reflection builds trust. The Israelites built altars of remembrance after God’s victories. Maybe you need to build your own “altars” today—markers to remind you of His unwavering presence in your life.

 

  • Start a journal where you write down answered prayers or moments where God showed up.
  • When facing a challenge, remind yourself: If God has done it before, He will do it again.
  • Share stories of God’s faithfulness with your family and friends. Testimonies—big or small—strengthen faith for generations.

  

Remember, our faith grows through small, intentional steps done consistently over time. Faith isn’t stagnant—it’s alive, and it’s meant to grow. What’s one step you can take this week to strengthen your faith and trust God more deeply? Maybe it’s opening your Bible for the first time in a while. Maybe it’s saying “yes” to something that scares you. Maybe it’s praying for the strength to believe God’s promises in a tough season.
