CONFIDENCE

Torn between faith & doubt, belief & unbelief? Believing, yet sometimes wrestling with doubts?

We believe, but are silently stretched on the rack of unbelief. So how do we respond? That may vary from moment to moment and circumstance to circumstance, so maybe a better question is this: How would we respond if doubt were replaced with confidence – not in ourselves but in the Christ we have trusted to secure our eternity?

Well, first we must have a basis for that confidence. It cannot be just warm feelings and happy thoughts. It must be a muscular assurance rooted in the One whose grace truly is sufficient and whose strength is mighty. And it must also be rooted in relationship with Him if we are to understand how to pray confidently, even when our faith is stretched.

Why is the relationship element so vital?

When relationship enters the picture, we realize that prayer is not a subordinate going to his commander for marching orders. Prayer is a hurting child turning to the Father who loves him or her. Thus, confidence in prayer begins with the profound understanding that God has powerful concern for His child.

This is the nature of the God to whom we pray, the nature of the Son and His care for His flock. We draw near with confidence to the throne of grace – we pray – because of who God is and how much He loves us.

THANK YOU GOD, PRAISE TO THE LORD, BLESS YOU GOD!
