What Jesus Did! 'We Need More Faith!' — Luke 17:5

Thursday, October 3, 2019

The apostles said to the Lord, "Show us how to increase our faith."
— Luke 17:5 NLT

Key Thought

How refreshing! The disciples are amazingly honest. "We need more faith!" I've been there; haven't you? They wanted more. They wanted to know how to acquire more faith. So what did they do? They asked Jesus! Why don't we?

Today's Prayer

Dear Father, please increase my faith! I know faith is the doorway through which so many of your great movements of grace come. Please bless me with more faith, not for my glory, but for yours. In Jesus' name. Amen.
