Welcome to **Day 13 of Divine Hunger — 40 Days of Devotion, Prayer, Fasting & Meditation**.

Today’s focus is **Intimacy and Trust**—the depth of relationship that grows when faith moves beyond words into wholehearted obedience.

📖 *Scripture Focus:*
*James 2:23* — “And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. And he was called the friend of God.”

⚔️ *Word Weapons:*
• *Matthew 12:30–31*
• *James 1:21–25*
• *Revelation 2:1–5*

True intimacy with God is built on *trust**, and trust is revealed through **immediate obedience* to His Word. When we act upon what God speaks—without delay, argument, or compromise—we enter a higher realm of faith where our will is fully surrendered to His.

This level of surrender draws us closer to God’s heart and farther away from human reasoning. It is here that faith is strengthened, renewed, and reestablished—not by convenience, but by sacrifice.

Abraham is the perfect illustration of this truth. He walked closely with God, believed Him without reservation, and that faith was counted to him as righteousness. His friendship with God did not begin with perfection, but with a **decision to follow God wholeheartedly**.

The depth of our trust in God may fluctuate from season to season and from trial to trial. Yet in every circumstance, the righteousness of faith is regenerated when we *affirm God’s promises* and choose to stand on His Word.

God desires fellowship with us—not religion, not routine, but **intimate relationship**. It is through consistent communion with Him that our faith is built strong enough to face life’s challenges with unwavering confidence.

We cannot attain higher levels of faith unless we confront situations that require us to trust God completely—just as Abraham did. Every step of obedience deepens our intimacy with Him.

This journey begins with desire. A hunger to know Him more. A longing to please Him. A growing passion for His presence above all else.

God longs to touch our hearts so that Jesus becomes our *first love* once again. When He holds that place, we will follow Him faithfully and passionately—wherever He leads.

🔥 This devotion is a call to deeper trust, greater intimacy, and restored first love—so we may walk as true friends of God.
