Day 82: Ember Faith Prayer Countdown

Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

                                                                              I Corinthians 13:13 NLT

When times have been tough in our life, we have found this scripture to be so true. Faith, hope, and love are the three things that we have had to hold on to, and those things have sustained us. So, we begin to pray today that Ember would have all three of these virtues.

Faith is defined in Hebrews 11:

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

 And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

                                                                                          Hebrews 11:1,6 NLT

Basically, faith is trusting God. Trusting that He is who He says He is and will do what He says He will do. Faith or trust in God is crucial to living an abundant Christian life. The more faith we have in God the more our lives will reflect the fruit of the Spirit, and we will have a full and abundant life. Today, this is what we pray for Ember, that her life would be full of faith and trust in Christ, her Savior.

Lord, we pray that You would increase our faith and trust in You. We pray that You would fill our  daughter with faith. Help her to see You for who You are and know that she can trust Your Word. Help us to demonstrate a life lived with faith, so that Ember may learn from us that You are someone to have confidence in. This we pray as we wait for our precious little girl, entrusting her to Your loving care.
