How are you doing, Friend?

Faith is first of all unwavering trust in a person: Jesus Christ. True faith means that trust exists and remains whether or not what you've asked for is fulfilled. This kind of faith comes only from your relationship with Jesus, made possible by the Holy Spirit.

Your faith doesn't have to be perfect. Its strength doesn't need to be at 100% for it to be effective. You can struggle with doubt as a believer. Your struggle is also an opportunity to strengthen your convictions. God wants us to trust the person (Jesus) first, not a specific outcome. This is important because we can't predict God will in many of life's details.
