A Prayer for Overcoming Doubts and Embracing Religion
By Emma Danzey

 “However whenever you ask, you need to imagine and never doubt, as a result of the one who doubts is sort of a wave of the ocean, blown and tossed by the wind.” – James 1:6

Doubt causes us to really feel unsteady and shoved round by questions from ourselves and others. It could actually really feel suffocating once we wrestle with fixed disbelief. Whether or not we’re in school with professors who chastise us for having religion in Christ and the Bible, working with co-workers who query our beliefs or are going by a trial season, doubts are pure and are available to us on this damaged world.

Once we suppose again to the primary sin of mankind, the serpent precipitated Eve to doubt her Creator God. Devil mentioned, “Did God actually say, ‘You should not eat from any tree within the backyard’?” (Genesis 3:1b) A lie that’s planted in our ideas with out taking it to the Lord can result in doubt if we’re not cautious. Eve might have gone to Adam, who was together with her, or she might have gone straight to God to ask Him about it earlier than making her choice. Nevertheless, she selected to belief the lie and purchase into the doubts. What number of of our personal choices may very well be totally different if we took a pause to ask the Holy Spirit about it?

The Lord just isn’t indignant with us if now we have doubts, He invitations us to deliver them to Him. He desires to listen to our considerations, questions, and fears. In flip, He wishes to offer nice religion to us by His Spirit. Whether or not it’s a massive doubt or a small doubt, we are able to deliver our ideas to Him. It’s higher to acknowledge a doubt than to let it sit unnoticed.

Right now as we pray about overcoming our doubts and embracing religion, might we keep in mind that Christ cares about our each concern. He loves us and He is ready to do greater than we might ever ask or think about by His energy. Allow us to imagine Him at His Phrase at the moment.

Let’s pray:

Pricey Lord,

Right now, we acknowledge that we battle identical to Eve with questioning who You’re and what You will have mentioned. I acknowledge personally that at the moment I’ve doubts about ___________________. You will have higher for me than to reside in a state of being frozen in uncertainty. Assist me to beat these doubts and embrace religion. You inform us in Your Phrase that religion can transfer a mountain. (Matthew 17:20) You educate us that religion with out works is lifeless. (James 2:14-26) You remind us that religion is a fruit of the Spirit that all of us have entry to by Jesus. (Galatians 5:22-23)  Assist us to lean not on our understanding however to belief in You, understanding that You’ll make our paths straight.

Doubt holds us again and we notice that you just need to propel us ahead, however we have to pause and are available to You with our questions. Forgive us for not coming to You once we wrestle or battle. Our hearts lengthy to be linked with You and strengthened by You. Nevertheless, our fears and doubts maintain us again from residing the lives of confidence and peace that You need for us. We confess that residing in our doubts will be simpler and extra interesting than doing the work of pouring our hearts out to You and relying on You rather than our personal power. Remind us of Your nice energy. Solid out all concern, open our eyes to blind spots, and reveal the reality with Your Phrase. We all know that You’re reliable, succesful, sovereign, and private. You take care of our each want. You understand our each doubt. Nothing surprises you. Assist us to really imagine You.

Thank You for reminding us that we’re greater than conquerors by You (Romans 8:31-39). When the enemy desires us to really feel too far gone or too uncertain for use for the glory of God, might we keep in mind that You got here and died for our doubts in order that we might reside in freedom. Assist us to keep in mind that Thomas, who doubted, was certainly one of Your disciples and closest buddies, and he adopted You within the midst of his doubts. We, too, can reside out religion by Your energy, even once we should not have it in ourselves.
In full confidence in Your identify, we pray Jesus, Amen.
