THE 16th OF OCTOBER
FAITH OR DOUBT?
He (Abraham) did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. – Romans 4:20-21
While waiting on God to answer our prayers, our carnal nature is tempted to doubt God’s promises. If we allow the doubtful thoughts to develop, we start to believe them, canceling out faith and we end up receiving nothing. The more often this happens, the harder it is to have faith in future situations.
So, when we realize that we have doubtful thoughts, we need to start proclaiming and standing on God’s promises for our prayer request. In order to receive something from God, it has to be His will. We know that what we ask for is God’s will, if we find it in the Bible in more than one verse or section of verses which apply to our need, in the context they are written. Doubt attacks all of us, but the sooner we reject it and stand on God’s promises, the more we build up our faith and we will receive what we are praying for.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Father God, for all the promises from Your Word. Holy Spirit, please help me find the right Bible verses to support my needs in prayer and show me God’s will for every matter. Also, please help me grow in faith and not allow any unbelief to grow in my heart, so that I will pray correctly and receive what I pray for. Dear Lord please help me remain in You and Your Word to remain in me so that I may receive whatever I ask in Jesus’ Name. Glory and honor to Your holy Name, for ever and ever. Amen
