The core of our spiritual lives

Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! (Psalm 46:10 ESV)

Question: How can I “keep the faith” in what seems to be an increasingly skeptical world?
Answer: Faith is at the core of our spiritual lives, so it’s worth fighting for. Here are a few tips that can help your faith not only survive but thrive:
 - Feed on the Word of God. Faith is built by faithful study of God’s Word. As you read and absorb it daily, as you think about its truths and how they apply to you, your faith will grow.
 - Pray and meditate. God wants to have a personal relationship with you through His Son, Jesus. Communing in spirit with Jesus—sharing your heart with Him and receiving His love, encouragement, and answers in return—will strengthen your connection and deepen your relationship and your faith in Him.
 - Live your faith. Putting faith into action brings it to life. As you apply God’s Word to daily living, its principles and promises will prove to be true time after time, and your faith in it and its Author will grow.
 - Look for the good. “All things work together for good”, look for and focus on that good, and your faith will be buoyant enough to face your challenges.
 - Draw from the experience of others What God has done for them, He can do for you!
 - Thank God for His goodness. The more you thank God for His goodness, the more you’ll find to be thankful for and the more He will bless you [1]

When we feed our faith, we starve our doubts. —Christine Caine
