THANKFUL

Good morning, Jesus.

Lord, my faith is weak, so weak my soul barely speaks Your name. I’m struggling. The mountain of uncertainty before me intimidates my humanity. The enemy of my soul whispers his sinister lies, “There’s no way you will get out of this! This is too much, even for God.” In my brokenness, my soul cries out, “Lord God, are You in this at all? Lord, where are You?” Doubts about Your faithfulness cloud my judgement. All this time, have I trusted in You in vain? Am I being punished for some unconfessed sin? Where did I go wrong? Lord, Your silence is killing me. I need some answers!

Why are you anxious, my child? I hear You whisper. When You placed your faith in me to be your Savior and Lord, I became your Lord of all. I even became your Lord of your uncertainty. No, You’re not being punished for your sins, I took that for you. Know my truth: if you knew everything for certain, how would your faith grow. Trust Me with your uncertainties.

Lord, Your Word tells me not to lean on my own understanding, but in everything acknowledge You, and You will direct my path (Proverbs 3:5–6). Help me not to focus all my attention on the mountains but on You Lord, the Mountain Mover. Strengthen my faith so I can say confidentially, “Lord, Your faithfulness is rock-solid. I trust You with my uncertainty, knowing Your Spirit is guiding my life.”

Trusting You Jesus, my Mountain Mover Jesus. Amen.
