What does the phrase 'increase our faith' mean in a Christian context?

Answered in 1 source

'Increase our faith' signifies a desire for deeper trust and reliance on God amidst challenges.

'Increase our faith' reflects a longing for a deeper, more robust faith in God, especially when faced with trials and temptations. In Luke 17:5, the disciples asked this of Jesus as they recognized their need for greater capability to forgive and follow His teachings. This cry for an increase in faith acknowledges human limitations and the necessity of God's empowering grace. It reminds believers that faith is a gift that must be continually sought and cultivated through prayer, the Word, and reliance on the Holy Spirit to direct their hearts back to Christ during struggles.
