Trust the Potter

How many times have we prayed for God to allow us to have more faith?
I know I have prayed that many times, and honestly, I think it's going to just "poof" happen and then rejoice in what God has done. For us to grow in faith means that we will be stretched ( to extend in length, to pull, strain)so that faith can go to a higher level. As we read the definition of stretch we see that it's not a joy ride. It is painful and tiring and it takes you to a place you've never been before. I have recently gone through the stretching of my faith.
