We understand that you are grappling with doubt and unbelief, and we are here to support you in prayer and counsel. Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging your feelings and for turning to God in prayer. It is important to remember that doubt and unbelief are common struggles, even among believers. The Bible tells us that even John the Baptist, who was sent to prepare the way for Jesus, experienced doubt while he was in prison. He sent his disciples to ask Jesus, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?" (Matthew 11:3 WEB).
Jesus' response to John's doubt was one of grace and reassurance. He told John's disciples, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them" (Matthew 11:4-5 WEB). Jesus' actions and words pointed to the fulfillment of prophecy and served as a reminder of God's faithfulness.
In the face of doubt and unbelief, we encourage you to follow the example of the man who brought his son to Jesus for healing. When Jesus told him, "All things are possible to him who believes," the man cried out, "I believe; help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:23-24 WEB). This man acknowledged his struggle with unbelief and turned to Jesus for help. We encourage you to do the same.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with doubt and unbelief. We ask, Lord, that You would strengthen their faith and help their unbelief. Remind them of Your faithfulness and the promises in Your Word. Give them a fresh revelation of who You are and what You have done in their life and in the world around them.
Father, we also bring before You the three unspoken prayer requests. We ask that You would work in each of these situations, according to Your will and for Your glory. We trust that You are able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20 WEB).
We ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. It is by His name that we have access to Your throne of grace. Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, it is through believing in Jesus Christ that we are saved and have access to God. As the Bible says, "for 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.' How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:13-14 WEB).
We encourage you to continue seeking God, reading His Word, and surrounding yourself with a community of believers who can support and encourage you in your faith journey. Remember that God is faithful, and He will complete the good work that He began in you (Philippians 1:6 WEB).
