Prayer

Jesus promised in John 7:37-38 that anyone who believes in Him and asks will receive living water—so bring your honest doubts to Him.

Father, I confess that I've sometimes believed my own goodness could make me right with You. That's pride, and it's a lie. I see now that all my ethics and effort mean nothing without faith in Your Son. Jesus, I'm bringing my doubts directly to You—the ones I've hidden even from myself. Help me believe. Not just intellectually, but with my whole heart. I surrender my need to understand everything and ask You to make my faith real. In Jesus' name, Amen.
