By Glenn DukerPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Building your faith is one of the most important things you can do as a Christian. Your faith will help you in good and bad times, making it a crucial part of your beliefs to continue building on. If you are looking for ways to continue building your faith, consider the following habits to help you get there.

Be Thankful For Everything In Your Life

If you want to grow in your faith, don’t set conditions that dictate what you should be thankful for. Instead, follow the instructions of 1 Corinthians 5:18, which says Christians should give thanks to God in all circumstances.

Many Christians who are fair-weather believers are still thankful for the good things in life, but they might question their faith when things go south. Being thankful for everything in life is a vital part of growing in our faith, as it helps us become more like Jesus. Even though there are many painful and disappointing moments in life, being able to be thankful for everything God has done for those who love him is a powerful tool for spiritual growth.

Being able to be thankful for all things in life is a powerful tool for spiritual growth. It can help you become light in a world that is full of negativity.

Think About What God Has Been Through

In the context of scripture, God commanded people to remember the good things that he had done for them. He also told them to build special altars to remember their children and those who followed them. By remembering all of the good things that he has done, people would have faith in him whenever there are difficult circumstances.

A special memorial ring that I have on my wall is made up of a piece of paper that I write on whenever God gives me something extraordinary or unexpected. I then punch the paper pieces into the ring and hang them. Each year, my family writes down all of the good things that God has done for them on the ring.

You can also make a family tradition out of this by writing down all of the blessings that God has given you and placing them in a decorative box or jar. Doing this can help strengthen your faith in God’s ability to provide for your future and present.

Praise God Daily

Praise is a different type of gratitude, which focuses on God’s attributes and character. Instead of focusing on what we want or how God pleased us, it can be used. It helps us move away from what we want and focus on what God has done for us.

Creative ways to praise God can also be used. For instance, you can praise Him through the alphabet or by choosing an attribute from the ABCs of the Bible. For instance, you can say that God is amazing, beautiful, and powerful. Then, take a day and write down as many words as possible about God.

One of the most effective ways to praise God is by writing down all of the good things that he has done for you. Doing so can help strengthen your faith in him. It can also help you remember the reasons that you have faith in him.

Record Any Prayers

One of the most important ways to strengthen your faith in God is by regularly talking with him in prayer. This can help you keep track of what God has done for you and help you grow in your relationship with him. One of the most effective ways to do this is by writing down all of your prayers in a journal or a sheet of paper.

List out all of the requests that you have made to God, and then write down the date when those requests were answered. Doing so can help you keep track of how God has responded to your requests. Sometimes, even if the requests were not granted, God still responds with blessings.

Counting how God has answered your prayers can help you build a stronger relationship with him. He promises to withhold nothing from those who walk in blameless faith.
