What if my faith "leans towards" unbelief?

1)  WHAT IF I AM LACKING FAITH?

1. What if I just cannot muster enough faith? What when my faith is everything but spontaneous?
2. What if it takes great effort to receive God’s promises, because my divided heart is hesitant or discouraged?
3. How can I come to experience God’s promises in the Bible  “not only in word but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction” (1 Thessalonians 1:5).
4. How can I too have a rock-solid confidence in my God so that I can say like Moses: "I'll go anywhere and do anything if You are there" (Exodus 33:14–15).
5. How can I avoid a useless faith (see the book of James)

The purpose of this post is not to attempt to answer these questions, but to gently prod you and me towards realistic looks at our personal faith-levels.

Hebrews 11: 1-3  “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.”

What counts is quality of faith rather than quantity of faith …………….and the object of our faith.

 
WHAT T DO WITH THE INNER CONFLICT BETWEEN UNBELIEF AND FAITH?
 
1)  Come to God with your S.O.S  “……help my unbelief!”

2)  Take heart.  When our believing runs out, God’s loving runs on. (Quote Ann Voskamp). Ann is a best-selling author.

3)  Open a Bible and start to read, say one of the first chapters in the New Testament.  

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.! (Romans 10:17)

4)  And, if your heart is soft, rather than wrestling down the truth,  you can be pretty much assured of the beginnings of a new confident trust and resultant security: “

Psalm 125: 1 Those who trust (lean on, confidently trust) in the LORD are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be shaken (secure) but endures forever.

5)  Get to know God’s great and precious promises (Google this) and know what you hope for:

Psalm 130: 7 “……….. put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.

Please, it at all possible time-wise, have a listen to Tim Keller on faith. 
Here Tim Keller attempts to answer questions on faith in the book of Romans and studying the journeys of several prominent intellectual atheists as they came to the Christian faith.
