PRACTICE YOUR FAITH
In the development of any skill, continual practice is required. To become proficient in music or on the golf course or in anything, practice makes one, if not perfect, at least more competent.
So, in developing faith, practice faith in every possible situation. To do this is to use positive expressions such as: “This project is going to turn out well; this problem will come out satisfactorily.” Never say: “This project is doomed to failure; this problem is too difficult:’ Be affirmative in your attitudes.
What we say about a situation determines how we think about it and finally what we do about it. Attitude largely determines activity; so watch your attitude and make it one of faith. By practicing positive attitudes, your faith will grow stronger in faith and results will be creative.
In practicing faith, read inspirational material– books and articles by people who believe and about individuals who have achieved through faith. Of course, the greatest book is the Bible, but inspirational books will also help. Saturate your mind with them.
Associate with inspirational people, with persons who have themselves developed faith. Such associations will definitely strengthen your own faith. Someone else who has struggled through to acquire a creative faith will inspire you.
For this reason, become active in the church. Unhappily, there are negative people in the church; but the proportion of faith-minded people is higher there.
