Show Notes

READ: MATTHEW 11:28-30; 14:25-31

 

I don’t want to doubt,

But sometimes the questions,

They’re stronger than I want them to be.

I don’t want to ignore,

The many works, the many ways,

You’ve proven yourself already.

I want to be strong,

But sometimes it’s all too heavy,

I feel like I’m carrying a great load on my own.

I don’t want to doubt,

But sometimes I feel like Peter on the water,

And everything I face is more than I can handle.

God, take my doubt,

Turn it into faith,

Let me believe that you will act.

God, take my doubt,

Even when I struggle, when life is hard,

Let me see you.

God, take my doubt,

When I’m held by you, strengthened by you,

I know that I’ll be okay. • Emily Acker

 

• Like Jesus reached out to save Peter when he was sinking beneath the waves, Jesus reaches out for us (Matthew 14:31). He came to rescue us from sin and death by dying for us and rising again. Can you think of a time you felt overwhelmed, and Jesus helped you? What was that like?

• Throughout our lives, we will all have doubts related to our faith. Thankfully, whether we’re doubting because we’re going through something difficult or we simply have questions, God invites us to open ourselves up to Him and tell Him all about what we’re thinking and feeling. It can be so freeing to be honest with Him. He is never surprised or dismayed, and His love for us remains strong and sure. Consider taking some time to talk to Him now.

Pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8 (NIV)
