A Morning Prayer

Father in Heaven,

You are the God who never changes, the One whose word stands firm when every voice in the world tries to shake our confidence. You are the Creator of heaven and earth, the One who spoke light into darkness and life into dust. Nothing is impossible for You. Your promises are true, Your character is faithful, and Your mercy endures forever.

Lord, today I bring before You the battle that rages in my mind and heart. Doubt whispers lies. It questions Your goodness. It tries to convince me that Your promises will fail. But Your Word tells me that You are not a man that You should lie (Numbers 23:19), and that every good and perfect gift comes from You, the Father of lights, with whom there is no shifting shadow (James 1:17).

Father, I confess that doubt sometimes tries to take root in my heart. Forgive me for the moments when fear speaks louder than faith. Your Word says in Mark 9:24, “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief.” That is my prayer today. Strengthen my faith where it is weak. Remind my heart of who You are.

Holy Spirit, renew my mind with truth. When doubt comes, remind me that Your Word says we walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Teach me to stand on Your promises even when my circumstances try to tell a different story.

Lord Jesus, You said that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move (Matthew 17:20). So today I speak to the mountain of doubt and command it to move in the name of Jesus. Fear has no authority here. Confusion has no authority here. The lies of the enemy have no authority here.

Your Word declares that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). So I receive that sound mind today. I receive Your peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Guard my heart and guard my thoughts.

Lord, remind me of every time You have been faithful in my life. Remind me that the same God who parted the Red Sea (Exodus 14), who shut the mouths of lions for Daniel (Daniel 6), who raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11), and who raised Jesus from the grave (Matthew 28) is the same God who is working in my life right now.

When doubt tries to creep in, anchor my soul in Hebrews 11:1, that faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Help me to trust Your timing, trust Your wisdom, and trust Your plan.

Lord, make my faith stubborn. Make it unmovable. Let it stand firm even when the storm rages, knowing that You are the One who calms the wind and waves (Mark 4:39).

Today I choose to believe. I choose to trust. I choose to stand on Your Word.

You are good. You are faithful. You are worthy of my confidence.

And I pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus.

Amen.

The Master Baker

Once in awhile God drops some truths into our minds and hearts and we know – we just know this knowledge is not of our own. 

Last night – when texting with a young woman about some things we are hoping to change – she said, “ I am praying and hoping…” and all of this blurted out of me…trust me – I am just not that smart to come up with this analogy myself. 

*** Hope is passing. God has His plan in place already. We see darkly.  But He is already light. 

I was young. And now I am old (ish). I have loved. I have lived. And I faced the loss of my own life already. But GOD is so faithful. So steadfast. And though we cannot always see what He is doing. That doesn’t mean He Isn’t doing it.

Think about it this way. For my baker girl. You put all those ingredients together for a perfect loaf of bread. If we ate it before it was finished being mixed. Prepped. And baked it would be ooooohhh. Yuck!

But with just the right ingredients. The tender loving and care of it while it is fermenting. The time to rise. And then the heat of the oven. The hard part – the high heat. The stretching of the loaf. The pressure on the inside to rise… all under the watchful eye of the baker – it becomes ready. At just the right time. Not burnt. But perfect. Then. And only then. Is the loaf a masterpiece. But getting there took patience. Process. Faith. And purpose.

That’s us. That’s God. That is the result of hope and prayers. And that’s life.

Thankful that Jesus is the Master Baker in our lives.

“Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger.” John 6:35

Amen and Amen.
