 STAND FIRM, TRUST GOD

"Some say if only my fears and doubts will leave then I will get to work. But instead you should get to work and then your fears and doubts will leave." Dwight L. Moody"

PRAY:  Lord, I ask that You help my unbelief. Since You tell us that if we doubt as we pray, we are like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind, then I must trust Your word and stand firm in Your love, Your promises, and Your commandments. I want to be solid in my walk with You, in my prayers, and in my life. So, please help my unbelief and let me pray and live without doubting You or anything about You. Thank You for reminding me with the example of the boy's father saying, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” That is me today, Lord. Amen and Amen.

REFLECT:  Read the verse again. “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” What does that mean to you? Could it be that as Christians we all struggle with believing God, living for Him and yet doubting? Maybe our faith is "both/and". We believe but we doubt. We are strong but afraid. We trust God but we're unsure. We can't be hard on ourselves when we pray as a wave that is blown and tossed by the wind. But we can try to change, to work on our doubt, and to know that God loves us just the way we are, but He loves us too much to leave us as we are! What would it take to curb your doubt and try to stand firm in your faith and trust in God - in all circumstances? Try not to be hard on yourself when you pray as a wave that is blown and tossed by the wind. But give yourself grace and ask God to help you to change, to work on your doubt, and to know that God loves you just the way you are, but He loves you too much to leave you as you are! What would it take to curb your doubt and try to stand firm in your faith and trust in God - in all circumstances?

ACT:  What are you doubting this moment? Define your doubt and then say out loud: “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” What else are you doubting? Define it and then again say out loud: “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” You can choose to nip your doubts in the bud the moment they creep up by proclaiming to the Lord in an audible voice, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Don't be like a wave blown and tossed by the wind. Stand firm and tell the Lord, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
