I read A.W. Tozer in the morning. I received this devotion today, and it was too good not to share. Be blessed!

Prayer: Faith Grows With Use
…Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
–James 4:2
It was a saying of George Mueller that faith grows with use. If we
would have great faith we must begin to use the little faith we
already have. Put it to work by reverent and faithful praying, and
it will grow and become stronger day by day. Dare today to trust
God for something small and ordinary and next week or next year
you may be able to trust Him for answers bordering on the
miraculous. Everyone has some faith, said Mueller; the difference
among us is one of degree only, and the man of small faith may
be simply the one who has not dared to exercise the little faith
he has.
According to the Bible, we have because we ask, or we have not
because we ask not. It does not take much wisdom to discover our
next move. Is it not to pray, and pray again and again till the
answer comes? God waits to be invited to display His power in
behalf of His people. The world situation is such that nothing
less than God can straighten it out. Let us not fail the world
and disappoint God by failing to pray.
