Having faith in Christ is saying, "I put my life and everything about me totally in Your hands, Jesus."
It's like flying on an airplane. You can make plans to go, book your flight and drive to the airport. But until you actually board the plane and are in the air, you are under your own control. When you become airborne, then someone else has control of your life. You are then in the hands of the pilot and the airplane itself.
That's the way we need to be with our faith in the Father. You simply turn your life over to Him and trust Him completely with every breath you take.
A few helping steps:
~ You learn NOT to worry about the future (both near and distant).
"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink ; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? " Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? " And which of you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life span? - Matthew 6:25-27
~ You pray about ALL the decisions you make on a daily basis.
"Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints" - Ephesians 6:18
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." - Philippians 4:6
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." - Matthew 6:34 ~ And learn to obey His teachings and commands found in His Word.
It is my desire to love the Lord my God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my strength, and with all my mind, and to love my neighbor as myself.
and it is my desire desire to give all diligence to add in faith.
