When the outcome blurs and the stakes feel high, how do you take the next step without seeing the full picture? We turn to Hebrews 11:1 to frame faith not as a wish, but as grounded confidence—evidence drawn from God’s proven character and presence in our lives. This short, focused episode with Lauren explores how trust becomes actionable courage, why it grows through daily time with Scripture and prayer, and how simple practices can keep your hope steady when uncertainty is loud.

We start by unpacking the line faith shows the reality of what we hope for and the evidence of things we cannot see, then connect it to everyday decisions about work, relationships, and health. Rather than waiting for perfect clarity, we look for the next faithful step and the peace that often confirms it. Lauren shares a practical exercise: identify one situation where you need greater faith, write it down, and pray, Lord, help me trust you even when I can’t see the full picture. That short prayer opens space for God to strengthen resolve and helps you notice the quiet confirmations that build real confidence over time.

You’ll hear a brief guided prayer to anchor your day, reminders for staying connected during the week with Rick’s daily reflections, and an encouraging sign-off: God is not finished writing your story. If this message helps you face uncertainty with calm strength, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a quick review to help others find these weekend reflections.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.520
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:40.719
I'm Rick.

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.840
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.600
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.519
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:53.359
Let's get started.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.400
And now, weekends with Lauren.

00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:00.960
Today is day 355.

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:07.200
The gift of faith will be in Hebrews chapter 11, verse 1 from the New Living Translation.

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:13.680
Hey there, it's Sunday, and today we're going to close out the weekend by talking about the gift of faith.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.599
Faith shows the reality of what we hope for, it is the evidence of things we cannot see.

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:25.680
Faith is a gift that allows you to trust God even when you can't see the outcome.

00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.039
It's what gives you the courage to step forward when life feels quite uncertain.

00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.759
Faith grows as you spend time with God and see his faithfulness in your life.

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.280
The more you trust him, the stronger your faith becomes.

00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.319
So I want you to do something for me.

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.240
Think of one situation where you need greater faith right now.

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:52.000
Write it down and pray, Lord, help me trust you even when I can't see the full picture.

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.240
Let's pray together.

00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:56.879
Father, thank you for the gift of faith.

00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.719
Strengthen it in me today so I can follow you boldly and walk confidently in your promises.

00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:03.759
Amen.

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:11.919
Now remember, Rick has your daily dose of wisdom all week long starting tomorrow, and I will see you next Saturday.

00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:18.000
Well, that's all for today.

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:23.039
But remember, I'm here every weekend, and you should be too.

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.599
