For faith

This plan is for when the answer takes long and faith needs firewood. The six passages do not treat faith as a feeling: they deal with listening, trust and asking plainly.

Hebrews 11:1 opens the chapter devoted to figures who trusted without seeing the outcome, from Abel to Abraham, and defines faith as the assurance of what is not seen. Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ, which explains why this plan is made of reading. 2 Corinthians 5:7 sums it up in one line: we walk by faith, not by sight. Mark 11:24 is a promise about asking with conviction, spoken by Jesus beside the withered fig tree, and James 1:6 gives the counterpoint: whoever asks must ask without doubting, like one not tossed back and forth by the wind. Matthew 17:20 closes the plan with the image of the mustard seed, spoken to disciples who could not heal a boy: the size of faith counts less than its existence.

Read one passage a day and, in each, look for what the person is asked to do: listen, walk, ask. Then write down one thing you have decided to trust, even without seeing.
