O God Most High, I pray for authentic faith. I ask that I will so completely believe in You that my faith moves from my head to my heart where I can receive Jesus and allow Him into my throne room. I pray that I will so trust Him that I will step down from my throne, just as Jesus did, and allow Him to sit there to rule my life with His love, grace and purpose. Amen Words to…
Trusting God is only possible by keeping our eyes on Him. The larger Jesus is in our field of vision, the smaller is everything else. Psalm 56:3-4 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.

A stepping out into the unknown. If only they knew how incomplete they are without God, the source of true Life.

Father in Heaven, We pride ourselves on being grown-up, not childlike in our faith. Children can imagine things. They can believe things. We lose our ability to imagine as we grow up.
