A Prayer for Hope When You're Running Low on Faith

Faith can feel fragile when we’re walking through seasons of suffering, loss, or unanswered prayer. Illness, financial strain, broken relationships, and lingering silence from heaven can leave even the strongest believers wondering if their faith is enough.

In tonight's prayer and devotional, Jesus reminds us that even faith as small as a mustard seed is powerful when placed in Him. Our hope doesn’t rest in the size of our faith, but in the greatness of the One we trust.

Like the harsh winters that blanket Colorado, seasons of despair can feel endless and barren. Yet spring always comes, and with it, signs of new life. In the same way, even when our hearts feel cold and withered, God is still working beneath the surface, preparing growth and renewal.

Remember this truth: God has not abandoned you in your struggle. He sees you, hears you, and even now, Jesus is interceding for you (1 John 2:1). Your broken prayers matter to Him. Your tears are noticed. And His presence remains, even when your faith feels faint.

Tonight’s Scripture: Matthew 17:20

"Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

🙏 Your Nightly Prayer

Father,
You know the heaviness I carry tonight. You see my doubts, fears, and questions. Sometimes my faith feels too small to hold on, but I know even a mustard seed of faith in You is enough. Shine Your light into my heart, remind me of Your nearness, and give me strength to trust You through this dark season. Thank You for being faithful, even when my faith is weak.
Amen.

🧘 Three Things to Meditate Upon

1. Even Jesus and Paul experienced unanswered prayers—yet God’s plan was greater.

2. The Psalms reveal that it’s okay to be honest with God about your despair. He can handle your questions.

3. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3, faith trusts that God is with us in the fire—even before deliverance comes.
