Don’t Mix Prayer and Doubt

Share:

Prayer is a key part of our relationship with God, and it’s a great privilege, not an obligation. When you think about it, it’s amazing to know that the God who created everything and knows everything wants us to come to Him boldly—through Christ—to have a close relationship with Him.

Hebrews 4:16 (NLT) says, “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” It’s so important for us to trust God’s love for us and understand that He’s merciful and sees us as righteous because of what Jesus has done for us (2 Cor. 5:21). If we don’t, we will struggle to have confidence that He hears our prayers and wants to help us.

The truth is, God knows everything about us—what’s right with us and what’s wrong with us. He loves us unconditionally, and He wants to have a relationship with us and meet every need in our lives. Our imperfections don’t affect His ability and willingness to answer our prayers.  

However, one common hindrance to answered prayer is doubt, and when we experience it, it’s usually because we’re focusing on ourselves—our weaknesses and mistakes. The key is keeping our focus on God, trusting Him to give us wisdom and discernment so we know what to believe and do. James 1:5 (AMPC) says, “If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.”

True wisdom comes from God, and He wants to give it to us “liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding.” “Liberally” means He gives more than enough, and “ungrudgingly, without reproach or faultfinding” means even when we’re in messes we’ve created ourselves, we can still go to God, and He will help us.

Now, this doesn’t mean He won’t correct us, teach and train us when we’ve made a mistake. Like any parent who loves their children, He disciplines us because He loves us and wants what’s best for us. But when we’re in trouble, He doesn’t decide whether to help us or not based on our performance. His love is unconditional.
