[Manna - February 8]
O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matthew 14:31
WHAT must be done to overcome this lack of faith,
and to have an increase of faith?
We answer that,
like the apostles of old, we should pray, "Lord, increase
our faith."
And then, acting in harmony with
this prayer, each should cultivate faith in his own
heart: (a) By refreshing his memory continually with
the divine promises, becoming very familiar with
these in the Father's Word, (b) He should seek more
and more to remember that, having made his covenant
with the Lord, these promises are his, and in his
heart and with his lips he should claim them as his
before the Lord in prayer with thanksgiving.
He
should claim them in his own thoughts, and in his
conferences on holy things with the brethren. Z.'00-170 R2642:6
