If You Feed Your Faith in God,your Doubts will starve!
Have you ever felt your relationship with God growing more distant and unfamiliar with the passing of time? Do you doubt God and how He is currently working in your life? Do you want to have more faith in God, but somehow doubts keep creeping in your mind? If you feel this way, you are not alone…. More and more Americans seem to be feeling this way, according to a 2013 study. The study found that 74 percent of Americans believe in God but many of those that believe in God are full of doubts about God and how he works in their lives. This is down 8 percent from the 2009 poll. Even more telling is the number of Americans who believe with absolute certainty in God’s existence but they lack faith!
But therapist and author Paul Dunion discusses the topic of losing and regaining faith in a blog, describing that if we will take the time to rekindle our faith in God, we will feel more gratitude, generosity and love towards ourselves and towards others. So to help you feed your faith and starve your doubts we’ve complied 15 Bible verses for you that you can use daily in your 5 minutes or more times with God!

Every day for a month or more, read these Bible verses in your 5 minutes or more times with God. Gaze on the Bible verse and ponder it’s meaning and think about how the verses may apply to you and your life right now. Claim the Bible verse as your own. When you are reading the Bible verses, make the verses personal to you by inserting your name in the Bible verses in the appropriate place. For example, Make the Bible Proverbs 3:5:6 personal by saying, ” I trust in the Lord with all of my heart, and I am not leaning on my own understanding, I am looking to God, and I submit my paths to Him knowing that He will make my paths straight”. If you take the time to use these Bible verses that we’ve given you and make them personal to you, “You’ll be amazed at what God will be able to do in and through your life as He continues to work and build your faith in Him and His care for you”!
