Never Lose Faith

August 28, 2026

“He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 (ESV)

As believers it is essential to have faith. It is faith that is going to keep us in the most difficult times of our lives. Our faith will be able to sustain us when everyone walks away from us, and it is going to be our faith that when things are impossible our faith will remind us that it is possible. When we lack faith, we also lack hope, and when all faith and hope is gone, we give up and want to throw in the towel. No matter what it looks like we should never lose faith in God. The disciples tried to do something that they could not do on their own, and Jesus told them, if they had faith as a grain of mustard seed, they could say to this mountain, remove and go to another place, and it shall be removed, and nothing shall be impossible unto you. I encourage you today that when the chips are down and you do not see any way out, not to lose faith. Keep trusting and believing that The Lord will make a way. You may not be able to see how He is going to do it right now but keep your faith in Him always. When you have just a little faith you can move mountains out of your way. When you have just a little faith you can move things that seem impossible out of your way and overcome every challenge that is in front of you. When you possess just a little faith there is noting that will be impossible to you. Keep your faith even when trials and tribulations come your way. Keep your faith even when it does not seem like it is going to work out for you. Keep your faith not just when the sun is shining but also when the rain is failing, because the same God that blessed you before is the same God that will bless you now. My mustard seed faith will be able to move every mountain, challenge and obstacle I face out of my way. No matter what it looks like now I have made up my mind never to lose faith in God. Since I will hold on to my mustard seed faith, I know for sure, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, all my trust, hope, and faith is in you. It does not matter what it looks like right now or even how I feel, I know you will always come through for me. You have never failed me, and I know you never will. I know that as long as I have faith the size of a mustard seed that is enough for you to move mountains, obstacles, hurdles, and anything else out of my way. I will never lose my faith in you Lord. Thank you for always being there for me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
