Choosing Faith: Deciding to Take God at His Word for Forty Days

Do you ever struggle with doubt? Do you sometimes think everyone around you has more faith than you do? Do you have a hard time trusting the goodness of God when you're going through difficult circumstances? Is it hard for you to admit these things to yourself, much less to God or anyone else?

Been there...

I went through a season marked by depression and doubt. Then one day, out of nothing more than desperation, I began to wonder what might happen if I could just believe, really believe, everything the Bible says. Would it have any effect on my life? Could it possibly help? So I did the only thing that seemed natural to me: I made a deal with God. I would choose to believe with my whole heart for forty days. Ultimately, I was giving God one last chance. I had no expectations; it just seemed only fair that before I gave up on him completely to give him a fair shot.

That's my challenge to you! I dare you to give God his fair shot! This book is challenging you to give God forty days of believing every single truth of the Bible with your whole heart. I dare you to commit to believing everything the Bible says about who God is and who you are as a believer in Christ. Make a decision to let go of every thought and belief that contradicts what the Bible says about God and especially about how God sees you if you are his child. Ask God to meet you there! Ask him to help you learn to live by his ultimate truth, and let it change you from the inside out. Let it set you free! You may be surprised at what he does!
