MESSAGE
God our heavenly Father loves us and has made many promises concerning what He wants to give us. He knows what we need and He is willing to give them to us. Asking is a responsibility He gives us to prove our faith and dependence on Him. He does not want His children to doubt His ability/ willingness to meet our needs.
A doubter is an unbeliever in the promises of God. Whatever you ask according to His will, He will give you. Are you facing challenges in your academics? Ask for wisdom and understanding. Is your family going through financial tough times? God has promised to supply all your needs. Do you have a sick relative or you are the one sick and needs healing? The Great Physician will visit your body. Are you surrounded by enemies who are threatening to harm you? No evil will befall you; His guardian angels are watching over you and everything about you.
Do not doubt God no matter how tough or hopeless your situation looks- the storm will soon be over.
Prayer: _ Father, increase my faith.
