Overflow my Faith in Jesus.

This is the most vital prayer a believer can utter—a desire not just for more information about Jesus, but for a deeper, more intimate, and unshakable trust in Him. It is a prayer He loves to answer.

Here is a poem and prayer for that sacred journey.

The Deeper Ground

I believe; help my unbelief! Amid the joy and midst the grief. I know the stories,know the creed, But plant a more substantial seed.

Take me beyond the shallow shore, Where I wade safely,and ask for more. Call me to depths I cannot tread, Where I am carried,led, and fed.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.” (Jeremiah 17:7-8)

Deepen my faith in Jesus. Not in a feeling,warm and bright, But in His person,day and night. Not in a outcome I demand, But in the grip of His nail-scarred hand.

Deepen it through the testing fire, Through unanswered prayer and deep desire. Through waiting in the silent years, Through overcoming doubts and fears.

Deepen it in Your Holy Word, Where His own voice and heart is heard. As I read stories of His grace, Let me see my Savior’s face.

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. (Romans 10:17)

Deepen it through the fellowship sweet, With other souls who at His feet Have found their rest,and in their need, Reflect His love in word and deed.

Deepen it till the storm may rage, But I am calm,on history’s page. For I am His,and He is mine— This hope is my unshakable sign.

So take me deeper, Lord, I pray. Walk with me through the darkest way. Until my faith,refined and true, Is rooted,firmly, Lord, in You.
