Good morning. Good morning to God. Good morning to you. Good morning to the Holy Spirit. Good morning to Jesus Christ. I thank you all for tuning in this morning. I thank you all for listening. Amen. I'm so grateful for each and every listener that's out there under the sound of my voice this morning. And for the ones that's coming. Um, today we're going to be talking about living by faith. Amen. Living through the word of God, walking by faith, not by sight. We're going to read scripture, a little bit of devotional, reflection questions, and then we're going to get into prayer. Amen. Once again, I thank you all for tuning in. I love you all so much. Love you, love you, love you for the support. Love you all for tuning in. Love you all for um supporting. Amen. I want you to know 2 Corinthians 5 and 7 states, for we walk by faith and not by sight. Amen. May the Lord have a blessing to the hearing and the reading and the doing of his word. I want you to know that faith means trusting beyond what you can see. It calls you to rely not on your own understanding, but on the certainty of who God is, even when the path ahead feels unclear. Faith anchors you in God's promises. Amen. Walking by faith doesn't mean having all the answers, it means taking the next step. Believing God is guiding you in uncertain moments. Your trust in Him becomes your strength and your direction. I want you to think about these reflection questions. Where is God asking me to trust Him more? What does walking by faith look like right now in my life? What step can I take even without full clarity? Amen. Those questions we really need to think about, to draw closer to the Lord, to live by faith, to trust in the Lord. Where is God asking me to trust Him more? What does walking by faith look like right now? What step can I take even without full clarity? This is our career Let's Pray Ministries. I'm your host, EBC. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. Heavenly Father, in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we come before you today with grateful hearts, lifting up your word, for we walk by faith and not by sight. Heavenly Father, teach us how to walk by faith when everything around us tells us to walk in fear. Teach us to trust you when we cannot see the outcome. Teach us to stand on your promises when circumstances look impossible. Heavenly Father, there have been seasons where we saw with our natural eyes, where our natural eyes discouraged us, Honey Father. We saw bills we could not pay. We saw sickness in our bodies. We saw doors close unexpectedly. We saw relationships fall apart. We saw delays and disappointments and heartbreak. But even in those moments, oh God, you remained faithful. And we thank you for that, Helny Father. We we when we did not know how the rent was going to be paid, somehow a vision came. And Lord, we thank you for that. When we felt abandoned, Henny Father, you sent comfort. When jobs were lost, you opened unexpected opportunities. And we thank you, oh God, for that. When doctors gave difficult reports, you sustained our life and gave us strength to overcome. When anxiety tried to consume us, oh God, your peace covered our minds. Hallelujah. We bless your name, oh God. Holy Father, you have proven time and time again that what we see is not greater than who you are. So, Henry Father, today we decree and declare that we will walk by faith, that we will trust you beyond our feelings, we will believe you beyond appearances, we will stand on your word even when life feels uncertain. Holy Father, we pray that you break every spirit of doubt and unbelief in our life, Henry Father. Every voice that whispers it will never happen must be silenced in the name of Jesus Christ. Every lie from the enemy telling us to quit, give up our loose hope is canceled by the power of God and by the name of Jesus Christ. Honey Father, increase our faith each and every day. When Peter stepped onto the water, Honey Father, he walked by faith until fear distracted him. Honey Father, help us keep our eyes fixated on you, oh God. Do not let up the storms help us to not let the storms of life pull us under, oh God, because we want to see you in every area of our life. We want to keep our eyes connected to you, fixated on you, and never leaving your your eyes, Honey Father. We want to keep our eyes stayed on you. Even when winds are strong and waves are high. Remind us that you are still Lord of Lords and King of Kings over the storms that come our way. Honey Father, some of us right now are facing situations that make no sense naturally. Some people out here are praying for healing while pain remains. Some people out here praying for restoration where relationships still seem broken. Some people out here are praying for financial breakthrough where resources look limited. Some people are here praying for direction, where doors seem closed. But God, we choose faith over fear. Because when we say we walk by faith, and because that way we know we're walking in trust with you. We're walking and depending upon you. Because faith says to us, God can make rivers into deserts, that God can open prison doors, that God can resurrect dead dreams, that God can restore lost years, that God can restore lost souls, that God can provide in a famine, that God can bring peace and chaos, that God can turn our morning into destiny. Helen Father, remind us right now of the time you have already brought us through, oh God. The moments where we thought we couldn't survive, but you carried us through. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Remind us, oh God, of the battles that we thought that was going to destroy us, but you deliver us and gave us the victory, oh God. God, remind us of the sleepless nights that we cried ourselves to sleep, but we had joy in the morning, oh God, because you touched our soul in the middle of the night. Honey Father, I'm praying right now for every believer on this podcast that you will strengthen them where they are weak and build them up where they're torn down. I'm praying that you lift up every person who feels discouraged this morning. Encourage them right now to let them know that you are right there with them. You are right by their side. I know they might feel weak in their spirit right now. I know they might be denying because they don't believe it's going to happen. But God, I want you to awaken them right now to know that you are still with them. Give them some kind of hope, give them some kind of clarity, give them some kind of discernment to help their unbelief right now, oh God. I pray. God, I pray that you touch them to revive their dreams, revive their hope, revive their soul so they can fully believe again, so they can truly walk by faith and not by sight. Honey Father, teach us to trust you in our hidden seasons, when prayers are not answered immediately. Help us to still believe, oh God. When we do not understand your process, help us to still be obedient, oh God, I pray. When the future feels uncertain, help us still worship you, oh God. I pray. Holy Father, when we refuse to let, Hunter Father, I pray that we refuse to let Fray control our decisions, Hunter Father, because we will walk by faith moving forward. We will walk by faith. When we're praying, we'll walk by faith. When we're believing, we'll walk by faith. When we're trying to be obedient, we're going to walk by faith. When we got to keep on standing, God, we choose to walk by faith. God, faith to forgive, faith to endure, faith to dream again, faith to believe, faith, faith, faith. We are walking by faith this morning, oh God, and we thank you, oh God. We surrender our unanswered question to you, oh God. We walk in by faith. We decree and declare, God, we know without a shadow of a doubt that you are still walking in our life. You're still working in our life. You're still moving in our life. You're still healing in our life. You're still restoring in our life. God, you're still opening doors in our life. And God, we thank you for fighting battles on our behalf. We may not see it going on, but we believe that it's happening. We know that you are working on our behalf. So we thank you, oh God. We thank you, oh God. We thank you, oh God, because you are faithful. We know that victory is here. We know that we are conquerors by the blood of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. We bless your name. Victory is here. Victory is here. Victory is here. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you all for tuning in to our Current Let's Pray Ministries. I hope you all have a blessed day. A blessed, blessed, wonderful day. Smell and rejoice and praise God like you lost your man in church today. Praise, praise, praise, praise, praise the Lord. This is our Current Let's Pray Ministries.
