Make Word-based decisions —Strengthening Your Faith (Part 2)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV)

 6 - Embrace change. Major changes of circumstance can be unsettling and uncomfortable, but they also create a great environment for faith to blossom as we are compelled to seek God and trust Him for the outcome. Each time you do so, you learn to trust Him to get you through the next time of change.
7 - Pray in faith, trusting God for the outcome. When you thank God for working in the situation even before you see the answers to your prayers, it takes the focus off of the need at hand and puts it on God’s care for your every need.
 8 - Keep a prayer log detailing what you prayed for and when, and then make a note of how your prayers were answered.
 9 - Commit every care and decision to God. As we acknowledge God in all our ways and ask that His will be done in the situation or difficulty we are facing, we can trust in Him for the outcome, even when it is different from what we had prayed for.
 10 - Make Word-based decisions. As you learn to operate according to the principles and promises of God’s Word, your faith will be increased and your trust in Him will grow as you take other needs to Him in prayer.
 11 - Testify of God’s power to others. Telling others about how God has helped you will strengthen your faith and theirs. [1]

So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end. —Johnson Oatman, Jr. (Count Your Blessings)
