How do I have more faith?

Faith comes by hearing God's Word (Romans 10:17)—so read Scripture regularly. Pray for faith, as the disciples did: 'Increase our faith!' (Luke 17:5). Remember God's past faithfulness. Take small steps of obedience—faith grows through exercise. Surround yourself with other believers who encourage faith.
