Q&A for How to Live by Faith

Dedicate a portion of your day to invest in prayer and reading and memorizing the Scripture. Consider beginning each day with prayer and continuing to pray in your heart as you perform your activities throughout the day. A Christian should “pray without ceasing."

Yes. "Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6)

Actually, it affects everything! When you become a Christian, you should want to do everything to please God. The Bible says that you are supposed to do everything to the glory of God. Tell everyone about Jesus whenever you can, and don't worry about what others think. Remember, He gave everything for you, so you can do the same.

You should absolutely trust God over any human, even a pastor. Part of a pastor's job is to help those who want to have a stronger faith or who have problems with their faith. They may feel if you do not go to them, they are not doing their job.

Philippians 4:6-7 says we should pray and give our anxious thoughts to God, and His peace will "set up a fort" around our hearts and minds. This doesn't mean that prayer will always relieve anxiety, but it does mean that prayer is a first step where we acknowledge God's care. You should also talk with educated and experienced Christians about the source of your fears, the remedies and advice to overcome them.
