Prayer of the faithful: Why I pray these faith scriptures out loud
What is faith?
Faith is believing when you don't see God answering your prayers, feel as if you are forsaken and lost in the difficulties you are experiencing and it feels like He is far off. Faith is when depression sinks its ugly teeth into your flesh and you feel it piercing almost straight into your heart, but you are believing that He is the rewarder of those who diligently search for Him. That is faith.
I actually wrote this blog for myself so I could read the scriptures on faith out loud to myself.
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God
I'm going to physically read every single bible verse about faith so that it sinks into my brain that I am not alone. I need that reminder. This is essentially my "prayer of faith"
Just reading these "Bible verses about faith" is like a key that will unlock something in the spiritual realm that after this faith seed goes into my heart will pick me up spiritually and renew my faith.
Once my heart absorbs the essence of the faith scriptures, because...
"In the beginning was the word and the word was with God, AND THE WORD WAS GOD" I am actually consuming faith.
Journey of faith
Hard Thoughts About God & Suffering In Hope
How does God look upon us in our weakness, even in our sense? Is God really angry or wrathful with us, his children? His bride? What picture of God is really warranted by the Scriptures? How do passages like Zephaniah 3:17 and Isaiah 62: 5 intersect our own experience? How can we then deal with the hard thoughts that tempt us to image God as cruel or indifferent, especially regarding our suffering? How do we develop a deeply and affectionate trust of God rather than a sense of alienation? Our journey is to learn why such hard thoughts do not reflect the triune God.
If you are plagued by hard thoughts of God, do not give up. No easy answer will suffice, and no pill can make everything instantly well. Still, I hope that what follows will give genuine encouragement and glimpses into the heart of God. Along the way we will be reminded not only how much we need God, but how much we need his people, we need each other. This, as we will see, informs how we might start addressing questions about our suffering.
Zephaniah chapter 3
Jerusalem's major waste
1 Woe to the rebellious and unclean city,
city of oppression!
2 She does not listen to anyone,
she does not accept correction,
She does not trust in the Lord
and her god is not approached.
3 Her rulers in there are roaring lions,
her judges are the wolves of the evening,
as nothing spades to the morning.
4 Her prophets are scorners,
unfaithful men.
Her priests defile what is holy
and make violence on the law.
5 The Lord is righteous in it,
he does not do anything wrong.
Tomorrow morning he lets his right go forth in the light,
it never disappears.
But the unrighteous does not know of any shame.
6 I wiped out Gentiles,
their wall tower was destroyed,
I destroyed their streets,
and no one went there anymore.
Their cities were deserted,
and no human, no nobody lived there.
7 I said, "Oh that you would fear me,
and receive the tuktan. "
Then the city's habitation should not be wiped out,
It would not suffer from all that
which I decided as punishment.
But instead they rose early
to hide with their perilous deeds.
8 Therefore wait for me, says the Lord ,
on the day I get up to take turns.
For this is my judgment: I will unite people
and gather the kingdom
to pour upon them my resentment,
the whole of my angry hood.
For of the fire of my fierceness shall all the earth be consumed.
Salvation for the remnant of Israel
9 Then I will give the people cleaned lips,
and they shall all call upon the name of the Lord
and together serve him.
10 From the funnel beyond the Nubian Rivers
my worshipers, my spoiled people,
bring sacrifice to me.
11 On that day you will no longer be pleased
for all those violations
which you have committed to me.
For then I will separate from you those who rejoice in your victory,
and you will no longer
exhort you on my holy mountain.
12 But I will leave a people in you
who is humble and weak,
and they shall trust in the name of the Lord .
13 Kvarlevan of Israel
shall no longer do wrong,
do not speak lies,
and in their mouths
shall not be a false tongue.
They shall find food and lay down
without anyone scaring them.
14 Cheer you daughter Zion,
raise joy, you Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
you daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away the judgments of you,
He has cleared your enemy out of the way.
The Lord , the king of Israel, lives in you.
You shall no longer fear any evil.
16 In that day shall it be said to Jerusalem:
"Do not fear, Zion,
do not let your hands fall!
17 The Lord your God lives in you,
a hero who saves.
He rejoices with you with pleasure,
he tigers still in his love,
He rejoices with you with joy. "
18 I will gather them
which is for the sake of the feast,
those who have been separate from you
and now bear the contempt of the contempt.
19 See, I'm going at that time
deal with anyone who has plagued you.
I will save the lame ones
and collect the displaced ones.
I'll let them stay
to praise and fame
on the whole earth, where they were so mocked.
20 At that time I will bring you home,
yes, I will bring you together.
For I will make you stay
to fame and praise among all the people of the earth,
when I finish your captivity
in front of your eyes,
says the Lord."
Isaiah 62
Zion's salvation
1 For Zion's sake, I do not want to be bullied,
For Jerusalem, I do not want to give me peace,
until its righteousness rises like the sun's shine
and its salvation shines like a burning flare.
2 The nations shall see your righteousness
and all kings your glory.
You will get a new name,
as the mouth of the Lord shall decide.
3 You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the Lord ,
a royal headpiece in the hand of your God.
4 You shall no more be called "the abandoned"
your land shall no more be called "wilderness"
but you will be called "my dearest"
and your country "the real wife".
For the Lord has joy in you,
Your country has got its real man.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
so shall your children marry you,
and as a groom rejoices over his bride,
then your God will rejoice over you.
6 In your walls, Jerusalem, I have made a guard.
No day or night they are ever silent.
You crying to the Lord , away is no peace.
7 And give him no peace,
until he fast found Jerusalem
and make it a praise on earth.
8 The LORD has sworn by his right hand and with his strong arm:
I will no more give your grain food to your enemies,
and strangers shall not drink your new wine,
the fruit of your endeavor.
9 Those who gather the grain shall eat it
and shall promise the Lord ,
and those who bring in the wine shall drink it
in my sanctuary's farms.
10 Pull out, pull out through the gates,
prepared way for the people!
Run, yes, run a way and clear the stones,
raise a path for the people!
11 Behold, the LORD proclaimeth unto the end of the earth:
Tell the daughter Zion:
See, your salvation comes!
See, he brings his salary,
His victory over him.
12 You shall call them "the holy people"
"The Lord's Resolve".
And you shall be called "the sought after"
"the city that is not abandoned".
Psalm 34: 1-8
1 By David, being pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, so that he went his way.
2
I always want to bless the Lord ,
His law shall be in my mouth continually.
3 My soul shall praise the Lord ,
The humble shall hear it and rejoice.
4 Live with me the Lord ,
Let us raise his name together!
5 I sought the Lord
and he answered me,
out of all my fear he saved me.
6 Those who look up to him shine with joy,
their faces do not need to embarrass shame.
7 Here is a keypad that shouted
and the Lord heard him,
He saved him from all his distress.
8 The angel of the Lord strikes his camp
around those who fear him,
and he frees them.
Faith Hope And Love
What is unmistakable in life? What is difficult or impossible to live without? In addition to the basic and obvious physical needs of food, clothing, housing etc and a social life with family, work and friendship, it is still these three.
What happens to us if we lose faith, lose hope and not give and get love? Pure humanity is devastating and leads to mental despair and depression. A human being can exist happily but not really live without love, hope and faith. There is certainly a lot to get in this world that provides power to life-sustaining but the inexhaustible sources are not found in ourselves, other people or in philosophy, teachings or social systems. As always, we can seek the answers of God. We have deeper needs, determined by our being, who we are like people, and what we need to really live. Being human is to be created by God to receive his love.
In terms of faith, hope and love, they have a specific content. It is not an unspecified belief in happiness or anything else. It's not a general, fluttery and unspecified hope that something will get better sometime. It is not a vague and superficial love that consists mostly of sympathy and liking their liqueurs. They are clearly defined so we know what we have to deal with.
What does the Bible say about the matter? It naturally couples this to God himself and gives a clear message of the trustworthiness of believing, hoping and receiving love, and giving it on the basis of who God is and does.
Tron's content is as important as the self-esteem, trust and confidence, which faith implies purely subjective for us. Objectively, it is based on the facts we are presented to us. Tron's facts are based on what God has said and done in history and for trial. Therefore, we can be convinced that it is true and it is only the truth we can build in the long run. Nothing else is true in life and death.
Similar to the jump. We can really hope because we can trust what God says is true, not just for this life but for eternity. It helps us not give up in trouble, drop the target in sight and endure until we reach it.
As for love, Paul writes that it is greatest and so it is. Love is the meaning and purpose of life. It is greatest because God has done the greatest he could for us. He let his own Son convey his immense love in word and deed and give his own life for us. The cross is the ultimate proof of God's love, which is not just words or superficial gestures. God's love goes into the depths of our being and confirms our identity as beloved, forgiven, blessed and established. It is greatest because God who created us IS love and fulfillment as people are to receive this love, live in and out of it and pass it on. Faith and the certainty of this love of God is the foundation of our dignity, our freedom and security. More about it in the next part.
Tron connects us with the reality of God, hope anchors us in this reality no matter what it looks at the moment and love meets our deepest need and gives us life. There is much written about this in the Bible, and I come back in more detail to each, but finish here with 1 Corinthians 13:13, where they are mentioned together: So, faith, hope and love now consists of these three, and the greatest of them is love.
II
In this section, I continue to think a little more about what faith, hope and love are in the Biblical sense. In order to understand the total difference between the Christian faith and the religious and alternative spiritual world's legal and self-centered achievements, we must see that it is linked to God's completed work on the cross. It is God who has made the entire liberation and rescue mission ready and clear on the cross. All we can contribute to is to accept and repent, that after our conversion we may die with Jesus Christ through our baptism and revive in him. It is entirely unique to Christian faith that God has already done everything for us, and when we enter his kingdom, it begins with rest. The Christian faith is free from self-centering because it focuses all on God. We do not need to try to make ourselves better than we are and can ever be, through spiritual exercises, achievements or legal acts. We do not need to try to build our better myself. In the light of God's holiness and righteousness, it is still condemned to fail. God wants us to be dead from all this so that He can give us His life through His Son. The best thing we can do is keep up with God about this and think it's right, true and true.
Based on this position of pure and undue grace, we may grow in community and active service for our Lord. He has already done everything and continues to work in us through his Spirit. In biblical opinion, therefore, faith, hope and love resides on a foundation beyond ourselves, on God Himself that does not change but is the same forever. It is therefore stable, safe and secure. The reason for faith is what God said and done. The jump extends to his solutions in all situations and that his good will will happen. Love rests in the assurance of God's already done for our salvation and deliverance: the one he once proved to all when Jesus died for us (Romans 5: 8-11).
Tron is a conviction of what we do not see if God Himself, as we got to know, trust and love. The hope anchors us for eternity and assures us of this great perspective, that God will eventually become all in all. Our suffering in time and world are just temporary, however difficult they are. Our hope is the Kingdom of God, to gather there with Him, free from all that destroys. The love of God is our greatest treasure, the most precious we have. To receive his love and pass it on is the meaning and purpose of life.
Faith, hope and love is our answer to what God has spoken and done and determines our life as his child. God has spoken and acted in history before many witnesses who conveyed this. That's real. Faith is both reluctance and trust. The hope is that he will complete what he has begun and the gratitude of love is directed to him who has done such wonderful and powerful deeds for us.
No one can come to God unless he goes, awakens a longing in us, convinces us of our endless need for God. He always loves us first, seeking our heart for us to seek and find him. We are overwhelmed by his mercy and love and at a certain point we completely surrender to God, become his. It is such a strong and life-transforming experience and more real than anything else we knowthat God is real that His presence and words have reborn us. We are convinced that it is true and puts our trust, our trust, our faith, our hope and our love in gratitude to him for what he has done. Most believers can tell you about such an experience. Christian faith is about a living God who meets us. Jesus is indeed the resurrection and a living savior. It's more real than anything else. We begin our Christian life with this strong conviction, both of God's love and of His holiness before which our sin becomes painfully clear, and we continue it in fellowship with Him. We learn Him more personally in prayer and in the reading of His words, in fellowship with other Christians, serving Him.
Faith, hope and love bind us together with God Himself. Our limited life in time and space is rooted in His eternal spiritual reality. They express our total dependence on him, his words and his restraining power.
The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and New Testament in Greek. But no book has been translated into as many languages as the BibleNew translations come in partly because a national language changes, partly because Bible science, linguistics and history of science develop and make new discoveries. The Danish Bible is in its most recent translation from 1992.The old testament. The word bible comes from the Greek "biblia", which means small books. And that applies for the first time to the Old Testament. It consists of 39 writings. These writings are far from a whole, but have been over a long period, perhaps in 700-800 years. The Old Testament consists of widely different forms of literature. Stories, statutes, prophetic words, poems. Behind several of these texts are oral traditions that have been written down gradually. During the centuries, some of the scriptures have undergone edits and additions and have finally become the complete work that we today call the Old Testament.
The most important period in the formation of the Old Testament Scriptures is the 40 years in which the priests from Jerusalem's temple were in exile in Babylon from 587-539 BC. Just over the land, it has been necessary for the priesthood to find back to its religious identity and man has attempted to gather all that had hitherto been sources of the Israeli religion. But the Old Testament has first found its present form in the first century BCThe term Old Testament is signified that something follows, namely the New Testament. And it is also the church's understanding that the tales of creation, the visions of the prophets, and the law of Moses are the prerequisite for the New Testament's service of Jesus as the Son of God. But at the same time, the Old Testament is also the sacred book of Judaism. Because Judaism does not recognize the New Testament as a sacred scripture, you have a different term.

Faith Bible Verses
Bible Quotes about Faith - It is so easy to face new failures and fears and to lose faith in God's plan for your life. We begin to question if God is real and if He cares about us.

And as I do, I pray that I will draw nearer and nearer to You, and that my faith will multiply exponentially as I understand in new, deeper ways that You are everything I ever hoped You would be. And so much more. Amen. ~ Kelly O’Dell Stanley

1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. 4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. 5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. 7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith. 8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. 13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. 17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18 even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.” 19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death. 20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future. 21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff. 22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his bones. 23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel. 29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days. 31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient. 32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground. 39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised,

Galatians 3:22-26
Chapter Parallel Compare
22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. 23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,

Im not too sure which bible translation they used but all I wanted was to say Bible verses about faith out loud so that seeds of righteousness can begin to grow in my heart. Remember without faith it is impossible to please God, so when we doubt God we are actually sinning. This was the reason I created this blog, first and foremost for my own faith but I hope it will bless you as well.
