Prayer

Jesus invites us into confidence through prayer, knowing that we come before a God who is faithful (see 1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Father, I confess that I often doubt—doubt Your promises, doubt Your faithfulness, doubt that You mean what You say. But Your word makes clear that You cannot lie, that You will not change, and that Your truth stands forever. When I'm tempted to believe the world's lies, or my own fears, remind me that I'm trusting a God whose very nature is truthfulness. I need that certainty today. Help me cling to what is true about You, not what I feel. In Jesus' name, Amen.
