IF YOU HAVE FAITH AND DO NOT DOUBT
On many occasions, Jesus taught His Disciples about prayer;
He assured them that God the Father would always be there.
But Faith must also be present and it must be exercised;
But sadly, these lessons were poorly learned; they were not wise!
Faith is needed to believe in God for salvation;
It is needed also to trust in the Spirit’s sanctification.
Faith is needed for ministry to people;
Without faith, effective service is impossible.
Faith is often taken for granted, for we assume it is there;
Praying without doubt is needed if there is to be fruit anywhere.
Faith and prayer work closely in tandem in life and ministry;
One without the other would surely end up in misery.
The challenge to exercise faith and prayer is important to heed;
The call to cultivate both disciplines is truly pertinent indeed!
The need of the hour is to have faith and to earnestly pray;
Let us be greatly moved to seek the Lord consciously today!
