Faith is defined as complete trust or confidence in someone or something, and when it comes to religion, faith is one of the cornerstones of your personal relationship with your spirituality. Having faith can make your connection with the Lord stronger, but sometimes it can waver. Whether you’re going through a hardship or questioning your current beliefs, finding faith can bring you back to your religious practice and community stronger than ever. And when you’re unsure where to turn to develop your faith, it only makes sense to look to the Bible. These Bible verses about faith will help you understand why faith is so important and will help you cultivate your own faith in your beliefs.
There’s nothing to worry about and certainly nothing to be ashamed about if your faith wavers when times get tough. It’s only natural in those times to feel a bit off balance, and to need some extra comfort and guidance to prioritize your relationship with God. Luckily God is always watching over you, in good times and in bad, and the Bible is a key place you can go to reignite your trust that God is always there for you, even though if you can’t see Him. Having a better understanding of what the Bible says about faith will help restore your spirits in bad times and make your connection to the Lord even stronger during good times. And if you find yourself seeking inspiration during a tough time or needing encouragement, the Bible is a great place to find those as well.
