Building Faith in God: 8 Ways to Grow Your Faith

Walking with God isn’t always steady. In fact, I recently saw a shirt on Etsy that said, “Walking by faith—tripping constantly,” and I just had to buy it. 😅 That phrase sums up my journey so well! Some days my faith feels strong, and other days I find myself stumbling.

The good news? God can handle both. In Mark 9:24, a desperate father cries out to Jesus, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

This verse reminds me that even when doubt creeps in, turning back to God is an act of faith in itself.

That’s what this new blog series is all about: building faith in God through simple, everyday practices. Not because we’ve figured it all out, but because God invites us to keep leaning on Him—even when our steps feel shaky.

Why Focus on Building Faith in God? 🌿

The Bible reminds us... that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). That means our faith grows when we surround ourselves with truth, encouragement, and reminders of God’s presence.

Whether your faith feels strong or fragile, there are simple ways to keep moving forward. Small practices—like gratitude, worship, and Scripture reading—become stepping stones that help us grow closer to Him.

This series will highlight 8 ways to grow your faith in God—practical habits that anyone can start and that truly make a difference in strengthening your walk.

If your faith feels fragile, remember—you’re not alone. 

Like that father in Mark 9:24, we can pray, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” And as Elisabeth Elliot reminds us, “Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.”

This is the heart of the series: real-life, practical ways to keep drawing near to God,
