I want to be more spiritual and gain more faith. How can I do that?

Sometimes it is hard to maintain faith, especially when we hear and see so many dreadful catastrophes happening around the world. But it is at these times when we really need to seek out What God wants for us!

Where do we find faith? Faith is found in places where one cannot look with the eyes. Faith is a feeling we generate through our knowledge of God and His son Jesus.

Faith is derived through complete trust and confidence in God and we bring faith into our lives by using the power of it through our convictions and beliefs. Faith becomes apparent in our lives when we are constant with our prayer and daily living and through His words and Holy Spirit within us.

Though God hears our prayers, they may not get answered the way we think they should. What we want and ask for in our prayers is probably not what God wants for us. Many of us pray only when we are in dire need of something. But this is not using faith properly. This is being selfish to God.

We can find faith through the understanding of how God works through the Christian's life. We must always seek His will for our lives when praying and through that faith prayers will be answered. When we utilize our faith through the word of Jesus Christ, we are doing the will of God.

If we are lacking in faith it is because we have stopped pursuing God's word. Staying faithful is an ongoing matter. Participating in Church services on Sunday is not enough to keep the faith. We must humble ourselves to Him at all times, and in all things, and let Him decide what is best for us.
