Louisville, Kentucky — On March 31, Keri Eichberger reminds believers to invest in their spiritual growth through prayer, scripture, and community.
Every year, many people strive to deepen their faith, especially as life challenges them. Keri shared her own journey during a recent Bible study, where older ladies shared their wisdom, saying, “That’s life.” For her, the struggles faced validate the need for a stronger connection with God.
Keri believes growth in faith is essential to manage life’s painful moments. She states, “The hard days are much more manageable with a grasp of God’s unconditional love.” Understanding God’s love and care helps believers rise above life’s difficulties. “How can I strengthen my faith?” Keri asks herself frequently, seeking to keep God at the forefront of her life.
“You might feel like you’ve done everything—reading scripture, prayer, and community fellowship—but still crave a deeper connection,” Keri notes. It’s essential to acknowledge that spiritual growth does not occur overnight. “It takes time, patience, and perseverance,” she advises. Staying faithful is crucial.
Keri encourages readers to continue investing in their faith journey by praying, praising, and reading scripture. “Continue running the race of faith with your eyes fixed on Jesus,” she insists. Keri emphasizes that such steady commitment will cultivate a stronger faith over time.
She also shares her experience with her son, urging him to stay dedicated to God, reminding him that wisdom and spiritual growth are ongoing processes. “It’s a hard-earned but well worth the process,” she explains.
Friends are encouraged to invest their time, attention, and resources in God’s teachings and remain steady. “It will pay off,” Keri insists. “He will honor your obedience. He will strengthen and help you.”
The devotional concludes with Keri’s heartfelt prayer: “Faithful God, You have been so good to me. I want nothing more than to increasingly put all of my faith and trust in you.” She confesses the struggle to maintain unwavering faith during difficult times but recognizes that true peace comes from putting her complete trust in God.
