Increase Our Faith
And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” – Luke 17:5
Reflection
The disciples understood that forgiveness requires faith beyond human strength. Their request mirrors our own struggles to forgive when wounded. Faith grows as we recall God’s faithfulness and yield our hurts to His transforming power. Love fuels faith, and faith results in forgiveness—this love comes from the Holy Spirit, which He puts in our hearts.
Application
Pray for increased faith where you need to forgive
Remember God’s faithfulness in shaping your heart
Release offenses and trust His power to transform
Connection
Thank You, Lord, for being the Author and Finisher of my faith. Increase my faith where forgiveness feels impossible. Teach me to trust You fully to heal and renew my heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

When we think of what He did for us we realize that He is worthy of all praise. "What would Jesus do" makes more sense. Just follow Him. Trust and obey.
