Faith has three basic elements:
(1) being thoroughly convinced that God is Who He says He is;
(2) acting on that belief by surrendering to Him; and,
(3) having the whole of our lives to match the inward belief and surrender.
(Patti Hedgepath Lusk)
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
James 1:5-6 New King James Version
