You want to honor God and others, and you want to grow in your relationship with Christ, but frankly, you\u2019re struggling to do it all.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We read&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Isaiah%2040%3A31&amp;version=CSB\">Isaiah 40:31<\/a>&nbsp;about mounting up on wings like eagles, running and not growing weary, and walking and not fainting, but it feels like we\u2019re walking and fainting more than running and flying.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we know the Bible is true, and God never lies. So there must be a way to walk in faith. How do we access this superpower God promises to believers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three Easy Steps to Grow in Your Walk with God<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Realize you need God&#8217;s help.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking in faith begins with a realization\u2014we must realize (and admit) that we need God\u2019s help. That each day and all it contains is too big, too scary, and too uncertain to face in our own strength.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years, I relied on my own abilities to tackle every challenge. I was a Helen Reddy wannabe: \u201cI am woman, hear me roar.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had read books about marriage, so I knew how to make mine successful . . . until we faced challenges I hadn\u2019t anticipated. Then I had to fall on my face and admit to God, \u201cI don\u2019t know how to fix this. I need You.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had read books about child rearing too. I followed the plan, but guess what? My daughters didn\u2019t fit the examples given in the book. I could control their behavior (to a point), but I couldn\u2019t, through the force of my will or the strength of my personality, compel them to love God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had to admit to myself and to God, \u201cI don\u2019t know what to do. I need Your help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you remember wise king Jehoshaphat, one of the good leaders of Judah? He led the people to worship God, but one day, the Moabites and the Ammonites, strong and terrifying people, came marching against Jerusalem, bent on destroying it and everyone who lived within its walls. Jehoshaphat was terrified, but instead of marshalling his forces, counting his bullets, and dusting off his fighter jets, he gathered the people, proclaimed a fast, and admitted that he needed help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second Chronicles 20:12 records his prayer: \u201cOur God,\u201d Jehoshaphat said, \u201cwe are powerless before this vast number that comes to fight against us. We do not know what to do, but we look to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t know how many times I\u2019ve knelt before the Lord and prayed a version of Jehoshaphat\u2019s prayer, \u201cLord, I don\u2019t know what to do, but my eyes are on You. God, I need Your strength. I need Your wisdom, and I need Your guidance. I need Your provision and Your protection. I need Your promises, and I need Your power. Be glorified in me today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The apostle Paul was another godly believer who came to this realization. Paul wanted to walk and serve in health and wholeness. Instead, he had a debilitating physical condition. God had healed others through him, but God hadn\u2019t healed Paul himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you remember what God told Paul in&nbsp;<a target=\"_BLANK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012:9&amp;version=CSB&amp;src=tools\" rel=\"noopener\">2 Corinthians 12:9<\/a>? \u201cMy grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What was Paul\u2019s response? \u201cTherefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ\u2019s power may reside in me.\u201d Paul stopped relying on his own abilities and strength and admitted he needed God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Jehoshaphat and Paul, we cannot walk in faith in our own strength. We must acknowledge that we need God\u2019s help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Learn God&#8217;s character so you can trust Him.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second step to walking in faith is learning God\u2019s character so we can trust Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I brought my first daughter home from the hospital, she didn\u2019t trust me. Not one bit. My belly had been sliced open on an operating table to bring her into this world. I\u2019d pledged my life to care for her, provide for her, and protect her, but she didn\u2019t know that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All she knew was that she was hungry, or wet, or frightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So she screamed. Every single time she had a need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Empty tummy? She screamed.<br>Wet diaper? She screamed.<br>Scary noise? She screamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every time she screamed, I responded.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I fed her.&nbsp;<br>I changed her.&nbsp;<br>I comforted her.<br>I kissed her, hugged her, and prayed over her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little by little, she learned about me. She didn\u2019t know that she was learning my character, but she was.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I fed her, she learned that she could trust me to provide what she needed. I was her provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I changed her, she learned that I was able and committed to care for her. I was her caregiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I comforted her, she learned that her emotional needs mattered to me. I&nbsp;<em>loved<\/em>&nbsp;her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gradually, as her trust in me grew, she screamed less. She felt less fear. She trusted my timing. She had learned that I knew best what she needed, and she could trust me to provide it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can\u2019t trust someone we don\u2019t know, and the only way to get to know God is to learn about Him from His own words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same is true in our faith walk. To fully rely on God\u2019s strength, we must learn His character. We can\u2019t trust someone we don\u2019t know, and the only way to get to know God is to learn about Him from His own words.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sermons, podcasts, and books are great, but when we read the Bible, we are reading the very words of God from His heart to ours. The Bible is how God reveals Himself to us so we can learn to love and trust Him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we read the Bible\u2014the whole Bible\u2014we learn that God is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Powerful<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Loving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Kind<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Wise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Just<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Patient<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Tender<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Righteous<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Sacrificial<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The list goes on and on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day after day, year after year, as we read the history of His love for mankind that reaches from before time began and stretches into eternity, we learn His character and begin to trust Him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How could we&nbsp;<em>not&nbsp;<\/em>trust someone who is powerful, loving, kind, wise, just, patient, tender, and sacrificial?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We see how faithful and kind and patient He was with others in the Bible narrative, and we realize that the same God who worked in their lives is at work in ours. We realize He can give us the strength and ability to walk in faith.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As our trust grows, it begins to manifest itself in our prayers. First, we trust Him with small things\u2014a prayer here and a prayer there. We see how He answers, and our faith grows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, we trust Him with bigger things, and we see Him answer in wisdom and kindness. As He cares for us, we see how He loves us. Our needs aren\u2019t burdensome to Him. He&nbsp;<em>loves<\/em>&nbsp;to give good gifts to His children. He loves to provide, protect, and comfort us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Come to God every day.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final step to walking in faith is coming to God daily for the grace and help we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wish when we accepted Christ as our Savior, we immediately received a lifetime supply of grace and strength. Just back up the semi-truck, Lord, and unload it. I\u2019ll find somewhere to store it. If grace and strength worked this way, I\u2019d be set.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feeling uncertain about a decision? Turn on the wisdom spigot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scared by a test result? Put the need cup under the faucet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopeless because my loved one&nbsp;<em>still&nbsp;<\/em>isn\u2019t following the Lord? Turn on the hose, and I\u2019d have all the wisdom and faith I needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you know what? If grace and strength and faith worked this way, I\u2019d never need to sit before God and pour out my heart to Him. I wouldn\u2019t have to labor in prayer and experience the joy when He answers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d never learn how tender and sweet He could be when my tears flow freely and my heart aches. Or how powerful He is when things seem impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember the forty years the Israelites wandered in the wilderness? A million needy people, stuck in the desert with no way to provide for themselves. How did God feed them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He sent manna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every day, just enough for the day, but enough for the day. No one ever went hungry. No one ever lacked what they needed. Day after day after day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_BLANK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Lamentations%203:22%E2%80%9323&amp;version=CSB&amp;src=tools\" rel=\"noopener\">Lamentations 3:22\u201323<\/a>&nbsp;tells us \u201c[The Lord\u2019s mercies] are new every morning; great is your faithfulness!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we come to Him every day, we find that He is faithful to meet us there. He gives us the strength, hope, provision, and grace to walk in faith&nbsp;<em>that day<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then tomorrow, He does it again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day after day after day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you know the posture God wants us to have as we come to him? He tells us in&nbsp;<a target=\"_BLANK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Psalm%2081:10&amp;version=CSB&amp;src=tools\" rel=\"noopener\">Psalm 81:10<\/a>, \u201cOpen your mouth wide, and I will fill it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He tells us to ask and we will receive (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew%207%3A7&amp;version=CSB\">Matt. 7:7<\/a>). He encourages us to ask in faith, believing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=James%201%3A6&amp;version=CSB\">James 1:6<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So how do we supernaturally walk in faith?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>First<\/strong>, we realize and admit that we need God\u2014that we cannot do it alone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Second,<\/strong> we read the Bible\u2014the whole Bible\u2014to learn God\u2019s character and why we can trust Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Finally,<\/strong> we come to Him every day for the grace and help we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking in faith, compared to flying or running, is decidedly unglamorous. One clunky step after another. Walking is slow, methodical, and decidedly ungraceful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why I was surprised that Isaiah included walking in his glorious description of the believer who hopes in the Lord:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who trust in the LORD<br>will renew their strength;&nbsp;<br>they will soar on wings like eagles;&nbsp;<br>they will run and not become weary,&nbsp;<br>they will walk and not faint. (<a target=\"_BLANK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Isaiah%2040:31&amp;version=CSB&amp;src=tools\" rel=\"noopener\">Isaiah 40:31<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of us can probably describe a time when we soared\u2014a season when all was right with the world and we were on top of it. Life was effortless and glorious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may also recall times when we ran with strength and speed. We tackled life\u2019s challenges with endless enthusiasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Flying and running days, however, are the exception for the Christian. As my pastor pointed out one day, we spend most of our lives walking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thankfully, God promises that if we:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Realize and admit<\/strong>&nbsp;that we cannot do it alone . . .&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learn His character<\/strong>&nbsp;so we can trust Him . . .&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Go to Him every day<\/strong>&nbsp;for the help we need . . .&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He\u2019ll help us walk and not faint.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every single day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until He returns or calls us home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*<em>This post first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviveourhearts.com\/blog\/three-steps-forward-in-your-walk-of-faith\/\">Revive Our Hearts <\/a>and is based on Lori\u2019s book&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4wGQRPm\">Walking in Faith: 60 Devotions to Renew Your Strength<\/a><em>, published by Our Daily Bread Publishing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have you read Lori&#8217;s new devotional, Walking in Faith?
