Overcoming Obsticles

I do believe, yet I have so much unbelief in my life. I walk in faith, yet my faith is often more in the things I see than the things I don’t see. I follow God, yet I repeatedly find myself stumbling down a path of my own choosing.
I believe; God, help me overcome my unbelief –

•I believe; help me live like I believe.
•I believe; help me choose like I believe.
•I believe, help me trust like I believe.

Help me to live like I really believe you are trustworthy. Help me to abandon my mythology where I believe I am more trustworthy than you, and so I live like I believe in myself instead of like I believe in you.

“I do believe, but help me not to doubt!” (Mark 9:24 NLT).

What does this mean?

•“Help my unbelief” – You cannot work yourself up to greater belief; instead, your belief deepens as you deepen your fellowship with God. Tell him, “I believe; help me overcome my unbelief.”

•Believe God, not yourself – As you face decisions today, ask yourself, “Is this decision based on my belief in God or my belief in myself?” Keep confessing, “Lord, I believe; help me overcome my unbelief.”

•Focus on knowing God – Knowing God is more important than knowing the details. Oswald Chambers says, “Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason – a life of knowing him who calls us to go.”  God_bless your days my friends. :)

Hi Thomas,

It's like you were reading my mind today, and I appreciate this
forum very much as I say the words:
“Lord, I believe; help me overcome my unbelief.”

God bless you my friend,

Jen

Hi Thomas,

Good to get another one of your inspirational messages. There is a lot there I know from personal experience.

The subject of doubt is a big one but you talk about a very import aspect of that. The deepening of faith, leads to a confirmation, which slowly squeezes doubt. It works really, on any level, or spiritual journey you are on.

Thanks for the words and the lovely photo.

Nick Grimshawe, you are right about a comfirmation within yourself, it leads to a Godly Faith we all must have to overcome what we normally fear, sometime jumping on a limb and seeing what would happen couldlead to a bigger and brighter future and if not? Atleast you tried and are ready for the next task, perhaps an even better one from the experiance you had before, this is what i experiance on a weekly bases but each time i get more self sufficiant with what i know. I owe that all to God for giving me the courage in his words to overcome what i need to do and move on with a better greater respect for the word and for myself as a whole. Thank you Nick for your words as well. God_bless you my friend. :)

We say we believe but oftentimes when our faith is tested we recognize that we really don't believe. "Neither be ye of doubtful mind" Luke 12:29 http://ucanhope2.blogspot.com
