The more I read the Word; the more I get to know God; the more I am convinced that we use the phrase “believing for” far too often, when we should be saying “believing in.” Or maybe we should just saying “believing”.

Here is what I am referring to. So often people, myself included, spend a great deal of our prayer time saying I am believing FOR this or that … you know, believing for a raise, a new car, a child, etc. Instead I think we ought to remind ourselves that God is the one in control and the one we ought to be believing IN (put your trust in God). I say maybe we should just say believing because ultimately I think we have to come to the point where we are just believing God, not just believing IN Him but believing Him, Himself. Does that make sense?

He is who He says He is. He is in control. He is the creator. He is the author. He is the finisher. He is.
