A Prayer to Belief God and Hand Over Fear
By Chelsey DeMatteis
“Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness reply me, in your righteousness! Psalm 143:1“
There are some components of this life I really imagine God did not intend for us to have discovered. I assume you already know what I imply; all of us have these 100 questions we would like to ask God. To call a number of of mine: Why did the autumn should happen? Why do terrible issues occur to probably the most weak? Why do our minds so simply get caught up in fear once you inform us to not concern? The very best conclusion I’ve come to is that this: not having all of the solutions causes me to should belief God even once I can not see what He’s doing and the way He can all the time make good come from evil.
Perhaps in case you’re like me, you will relate to this. Within the seasons once I need to shake my fist at folks or discover myself almost begging Jesus to come back for us now, He jogs my memory that the enemy of this world doesn’t have the ultimate say. God has already had the ultimate say: He defeated dying by sending His son, Jesus, to the cross, and this nonetheless carries full authority in our technology right this moment. I now not should concern, surprise, and fear if God will handle issues as a result of I can look to His Phrase and belief within the accomplished work of the cross. I also can look again at my life and see how good God has all the time been.
The identical God who stood within the hole for His folks 1000’s of years in the past remains to be standing within the gaps for us. Bear in mind what David penned in Psalm 143: 1-10,
Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness reply me, in your righteousness! Enter not into judgment along with your servant, for nobody dwelling is righteous earlier than you. For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the bottom; he has made me sit in darkness like these lengthy useless. Subsequently my spirit faints inside me; my coronary heart inside me is appalled. I keep in mind the times of previous; I meditate on all that you’ve completed; I ponder the work of your fingers. I stretch out my fingers to you; my soul thirsts for you want a parched land. Reply me shortly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Conceal not your face from me, lest I be like those that go all the way down to the pit. Let me hear within the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I belief. Make me understand how I ought to go, for to you I carry up my soul. Ship me from my enemies, O Lord! I’ve fled to you for refuge. Educate me to do your will, for you might be my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on stage floor!
That is one in every of my favourite parts of Scripture in the whole Bible. We’ve all felt this fashion. We’ve all felt as if the enemy had pursued us or these we love in crushing methods. We’ve seen the world stray farther and farther from what God needs for His folks, however on this hassle, we nonetheless see God trustworthy. Time and again He exhibits up, He leads us, and reminds us that He is obtained it.
His goodness, holiness, and justice will reign ceaselessly extra. At some point, all my questions and your questions will now not matter as a result of we can be in probably the most holy, excellent, heavenly place with our Creator. This world and our time right here is however a vapor. God’s everlasting glory can be ceaselessly, and that’s what we will place our hope and belief in.
Let’s pray:
Lord, thanks for being the One we will carry all our questions, sorrows, and worries to. I reward you for bridging the hole between life and dying to your folks. Within the moments once I can not perceive why you have allowed one thing to occur, would you remind me that you’re a simply God, you might be well timed, and you already know each element. You proceed to be trustworthy. Assist me recall the goodness you have poured out over my life. I pray that my coronary heart will all the time be trustworthy to you and to the work you have referred to as me to on this aspect of eternity. In Jesus’ identify, amen.
