Hebrews 11:11 "Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised."
From Shari Dew's book God Wants a Powerful People:
"Challenges that tax our faith are usually opportunities to stretch and strengthen our faith by finding out if we really believe the Lord will help us.
If your faith is wobbly, if you're not sure the Lord will come to your aid, experiment. Put Him to the test. A great place to start is in the scriptures, for as Jacob wrote: 'We search the prophets, and we have many revelations... and having all these witnesses we obtain a hope, and our faith becometh unshaken' (Jacob 4:6).
Unshaken faith activiates the power of God in our lives, 'for he worketh by power, acording to the faith of the children of men' (Moroni 10:7)."
I like it in the scriptures when faith is compared to a mustard seed which is tiny but grows into a very large tree. My faith may be small but I know that it can become a sheltering tree.
