I was glad to have this insight. I pray and hope to use all of the “Power Tools.”

Yes that certainly helped and is a totally new perspective and understanding that I am, we are responsible for strengthening our faith and how to do it, remember God’s past help and faithfulness and claim His promises! Amen!??

All of them, prayer, remembering God’s faithfulness and goodness of the past in my life, claiming God’s promises and reminding myself of them, giving thanks and praise in all situations, especially the difficult ones, (help me Lord!), amen!??

Let’s practice using Step #2, “Remember God’s Works.” Take 60 seconds to list miracles and works of God from both the Old and New Testament, or ways God has worked in your life. List as many as you can!

Keep praying and asking the Lord’s help and guidance.
Remembering his faithfulness.
Claiming His promises, strengthening my faith by doing so.

I need to remember what God has done and claim his promises.

I would lean in on power tool #1 ..I’m learning that prayer is our granted access to God and the Holy Spirit especially when we are going through trials and testing.I need all the wisdom and understanding when being tested.

I certainly use all of these five steps because in every difficult situation all I need is God’s wisdom. If I lose hope, I will remember His work in the past and I claim what He has already promised. I reaffirm His purpose because what He allows to happen in my life is for my good and I commit my faith to Him as He is a faithful God.
