There's a lot pressing in on us in this world, enough to make us despair. But in faith, we turn to God, even crying out to Him to save us. Father Hurlbert noted in his homily that crying out to God is enough to demonstrate that we have faith that we can be rescued. And so it becomes not about increasing in the amount of faith we have, but increasing in our ability to use it.
We know He has given us a "Spirit of power, love, and self-control", as in the words of St. Paul, so that we can keep strong in faith, being good stewards of it by living it out, so that we may have the abundant Life God desires us to have now, unto Eternity. So we live our faith ultimately not for our own, but to serve and glorify God.
