Pray Christmas - Day 10

[Mark S Mirza]

December 10

• Background to today’s prayer

  • Trust…a scary word when you are dealing with an unknown.

  • And yet two biblical characters, in two very difficult situations handled truth very differently from one another.

  • Let me jump to the opposite end of this spectrum, knowing that nothing is impossible with God.

  • My prayer for us today is that we would be open to the Lord working these truths into our life.

TODAY’S PRAYER

Zechariah looked to man’s wisdom and doubted while Mary looked to Your sovereignty and trusted. What do I do? Lord, Psalm 103:19 tells me that You are sovereign over all…yet I so often act like Zechariah wanting to decide if Your ways fit into my box (Luke 1:18) whereas Mary trusted in Your words that came through the angel (Luke 1:38). Father, we often quote verse 37, “Nothing is impossible with God.” Lord, would You convict our hearts to be broken for our selfish misunderstanding, causing us to glory in child-like faith instead.
