Journey Of Life Lutheran Church

Faith concerns that which is unseen: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1, ESV) Faith is not fatalism (though it can look like it). Faith is not pretending things are not the way they are. Faith is not directed by you. Faith is not what you believe about God. Faith is entrusting all to God. Faith gives us courage, brings peace and, by the way, is a gift given in measure by God . Cultivate faith the same way you cultivate trust with anyone. Spend time with Jesus, try out his words and you will find it trustworthy.“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” (John 10:27–28, ESV)
