We are told many times that when life gives us lemons, make lemonade out of them. But the reality is far from it and sometimes, it is not about making the best out of the challenges but it is about coming before God in humility. And in times when we feel helpless, all the more we have to keep our faith in God and offer a prayer of faith.

But, what is faith? Hebrews 1:1 clarifies that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Faith is when you trust first before you see the path God has planned for you. There are many bible verses about faith that remind us to keep our faith in God. And prayer is one of the ways to keep the faith. A prayer of faith is a powerful prayer to give us the strength and hope that we need to bite the bullet and carry on. Here are 15 amazing faith prayers for you:

Everything I lift up to you. Amen.
