Faith

This is a big one for such a small word! How much faith do we all really have? I know most will say alot but......... another small word that can really pack a punch lol.FAITH when I say it I want to believe that it means to me that i believe in Gods word and all that comes with knowing him as my personal savior.How many of us have something going on in our lives and turn to the lord in prayer,thats what we should do but here is where i think true faith comes in,do you keep praying for the same thing or do you really have faith that that one prayer was heard and there is no need to keep asking God over and over for the same thing ,he isn't deaf to our needs and he isn't forgetful so faith has to start with believing he has heard your prayer the 1st time and there isn't any reason to keep repeating it. If your like me I have enough to Pray about without repeating the same one. If you disagree with me please tell me your opinion.
What got me on this is my sister who is very much a believer but "THERES THAT PESKY WORD AGAIN"BUT I think she has trouble with the faith part,she prays every night and in some parts of her life she really believes God will take care of things.Her problem is if it's a major change in her life she doesn't have faith enough to just do it and trust the Lord to see her through it.A major flaw I have been trying to get her out of lol.
Right now she is facing a terrible health issue,her Dr. told her she has to have a lung transplant and she needs to quit work immediatley,so her having little faith says to me I can't cause we need me to work,well guess what if your on oxygen or worse, dead where does that leave Jim "my Brother in law"My point being is Pray about the situation ask God to take your burden that it is too much for you alone then have faith that he will and all things will work out as long as you believe.I'm not saying you will play the lottery the next day and win a trillon dollars,sure there may be hills to climb but I know he will be there thru it all and when you have reached his destination for you it will all seem small compared to what it could have been if you didn't have faith that he was beside you all the way.I can look back at so many situations in my life that really seemed impossible to work out but here I sit on my computer talking to a wall lol how great is that..Sure I still have major health problems and yes someday they will kill me but today i'm good I have a job A fantastic loving caring Husband Beautiful Grankids,so all the other issues in my life are in Gods loving hands he has heard my prayer and my faith is strong that he will make all my problems bearable and my life will be full right up to the end.And I will always wake up in the morning and thank him for the blessings i'll recieve that day and shout out what a beautiful day it is no matter what the weather is!
