How to please God
And without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would approach him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 11:6

2 - Reflect
We hear that with Faith everything can be achieved, but we never stop to think about God beyond a being that provides our needs. Undoubtedly, He hears our prayers, even those we do routinely or in an emergency, but what does God expect of us? Can we turn the page and it be us who give something to Him? Yes, definitely.
The writer to the Hebrews tells us that "Without faith it is impossible to please God". There is no other means to please God more than through faith. Therefore it is important to start from the most basic definition of faith, and it is to believe that something will happen without the need to see it. In the face of adversity, we have the most powerful weapon of all, Faith.
We can lose many valuable things in our lives, but all of them can be overcome when we have faith, however if we are lacking it, the horizon will be uncertain, cloudy, dark at that moment where we need to think before making decisions, because our insecurities and fears will arise. So how can I increase my faith, I ask God? DO NOT! Paul is very clear on this subject, faith does not come by asking but by "hearing the word of God" The more we read the Bible, the more we know the author and the promises He made us, and when we believe those promises, Two things happen: First God honors His word and second He honors the FAITH of those who believed Him.
