daily prayer

Good morning! How are we faithing? It is amazing how our minds work. I don't know about you but I can be thinking about fixing something on my truck and end up thinking about my kids or the toilet leaking. Our minds absorb so much info that it comes back sometimes when we least expect. What we put in or allow to enter has profound impact on our lives. Things we put in our minds will reemerge at some point and that is why it is important to filter everything. Doubt can emerge from many sources so it is very important to fill our minds and hearts with truth from the word so we can block the junk that causes that doubt. We all have questions about this faith and what we go through on earth but that is not what we're talking about. Sometimes in the midst of turmoil we wonder where God is. These are the times that our feeding on the Word will come out and assure us of our spiritual state. Here are some to sink deep in our minds;

1 John 2:22-23
Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist-he denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
NIV

John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."
NIV

John 5:24
"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
NIV

1 John 5:12
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
NIV

1 Peter 1:3-5
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade-kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
NIV

When those thoughts of doubt show up, recognise pondering from doubt and remember what the Word has said. It's ok to ask God questions, you would ask your father or grandpa questions about stuff you don't know so why not our heavenly father also? He will provide the wisdom and the answers like a father does, only better!

Heavenly Father,
We come before you with questions that we can't seem to find answers so we come to the author of all. Lord we don't want to doubt, just understand. If it is beyond our understanding, help us see that you are in control and we will get it eventually. Lord we thank you for a salvation that keeps us by your side forever. We thank you that you loved us enough to make the choice freely. Lord help us rest in the peace your love gives. Lord you are sovereign and we recognise your majesty. Lord open the eyes of our hearts so we see you in everything and can react to your promptings, in Jesus name, amen
