Pray Christmas - Day 8

[Mark S Mirza]

December 8

• Background to today’s prayer

  • Think about Gabriel standing before you, and if you’re like Zechariah, you doubted.

  • I can’t imagine Gabriel then saying, basically, “You doubt me? I stand before God Almighty…”

  • I’d believe anything he said…Or would I?

  • Don’t you and I do the same thing when we talk to God about something He has already CLEARLY talked about in scripture?

  • Let’s see…

TODAY’S PRAYER

Lord, as I think of the words of the angel to Zechariah (Luke 1:11-17) I cannot throw stones at him for doubting (vs 18) because I too doubt. I doubt Your clear word as stated in scripture. Lord forgive me for this. Let me take responsibility for the times when I want to blame someone else, even though Your word is clear that my struggle isn’t against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12a). Or the times Lord when I want to hold onto my anxiety, even though Your word clearly says that I can have peace instead (Philippians 4:6-7). Father, thank You for all these and so many more promises that have been made real to us because of Your Son’s coming.

* Praying 25 Days of Christmas: Day 8

 

Dear God, You know us so well. Our attempts at faith. Our pitiful doubts and fears at the  times when the enemy threatens us. Thank You for Your patience. Help us to believe!

 

Mark 9:24 "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!" NLT

Today's prayer reminded me of a short (2 1/2 minute) video I did, entitled: Calling God A Liar: https://youtu.be/29otxCi9OWo
