Strong Faith

January 02, 2026

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” – Hebrews 11:1 (ESV)

Strong faith is not simply believing when circumstances are easy and things work out as expected. It is the unwavering trust in God’s promises, and the assurance that God will do what He said He would do, even when the path ahead is uncertain and challenging. Faith is the steady anchor in the midst of life’s storms. It is what enables us to hold on to hope in the face of disappointment, to stand firm when our world feel likes it is falling apart. The Scripture reminds us that, faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. I encourage you today to stand on your strong faith in God. God has never failed you and He will never fail you. Be determined this year that when it feels like life is unraveling in front of you, you will hold on in strong faith knowing that God is with you and He will see you through

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being trustworthy and faithful. When doubts or difficulties arise, strengthen my faith. Help me to remember Your promises and Your love. Teach me to lean on You in all circumstances, and to trust You even when I do not understand. May my life reflect a faith that stands firm through it all. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen. Amen.
