Faith That Sets You Free – Rooted Devotional Series

I remember sitting in a hospital room with my baby girl wondering if we would ever make it home.  She had just been readmitted after only four days at home after the last six-night stay.  My little girl was getting worse instead of better.  My faith was weak, to say the least.

Active Faith is a Formidable Weapon

I was clearly in a battle, and I was losing.  I was physically exhausted and mentally discouraged when I cried out to God to remember His promises to me.  That is the moment when the tide of the battle turned.  As I prayed scripture after scripture aloud in that hospital room, I remembered that I was not relying on my own abilities but on the faithfulness of a living God.  It was then that I pulled my shield of faith up over myself and let it bridge the gap between my circumstance and God’s promises to me.
