1 Corinthians 9:27

I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

Just like a child has to practice and learn, so we too are children who must practice when it comes to faith.  We have to practice praying for our needs and believing until they are met.  We have to study the bible and discipline ourselves and stand on the word and believe.  We have to start small and conquer believing for a parking spot before we can believe for a new car.  How can we help others if first, we haven’t proved ourselves?
