16 “Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.”
So, today, live your life beautifully, do good, do what’s right, and don’t do what’s wrong; seek God’s heart. And pray – for yourself, for your family, for your friends. And pray with belief that God attends to your prayers; pray with Faith,
“Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.2 Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.”

“The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.”
I recently understood a definition of faith I had never understood before. It is being persuaded by God’s arguments. How would that change things for me? Earlier, I had understood that faith was only a compilation of facts that I believed, but this new “fact” brings so much more to the table. Yes, I am truly convinced of truths in the Scriptures because I accept God’s arguments about those truths/facts.
Thank you for these great thoughts about faith, Beth. I agree that the whole game changes when we are persuaded and begin to believe God’s Words and presentations – arguments – His Truths in the Scriptures. This brings my heart so much relief. Thank you for stopping by ❤
Amen!
