Grow.

I really want to grow.

If growth were a mountain, I'd hike it yesterday. Or swim it if it were an ocean.

Wouldn't it be cool if growth didn't involve growing but rather 'appearing'? I guess that defeats the whole purpose of g-r-o-w-i-n-g...

Growth takes time and unfortunately I can't go to home-depot to purchase some kind of spiritual sod or insta-growth. I have to wait.

One area I really struggle with growing is my faith, especially in light of a verse like this.

 20...Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20)

I look at a verse like that and I realize that I don't even have little much less big faith.

I sing big faith on Sunday morning and I write big faith on this blog. I also read and speak often of big faith...

But when the rubber meets the road and things get rough or stressful or uncomfortable. I freak out, worry, get anxious and ask why.

God, please help my unbelief. Grow my faith. Please.

That's been my most consistent prayer over the last couple months. I just really need God to grow my faith. What about you?

In what areas of life do you desire growth?
