For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:23-24.
Many times we ask ourselves so many questions, such as “I wonder what happens tomorrow.” I wonder what I should use for the activity or work. ” “I wonder if my partner would ever love me a lifetime.” “I wonder if my children will have a good future.” Every day so many questions come to our minds, many of which we do not have the answers at the moment. All human beings have doubts or curiosities.
Our doubts or curiosities often lead to stress and anxiety. Over time I have learned that instead of asking myself so many things it is better to leave all our concerns to God. This reminds me of Joel 2: 21-27 who says:
Fear not, O land;
Be glad and rejoice,
For the Lord has done [i]marvelous things!
Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For the open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And rejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the [j]former rain faithfully,
And He will cause the rain to come down for you—
The former rain,
And the latter rain in the first month.
The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,
And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,
The crawling locust,
The consuming locust,
And the chewing locust,
My great army which I sent among you.
You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
And praise the name of the Lord your God,
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
And My people shall never be put to shame.
Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel:
I am the Lord your God
And there is no other.
My people shall never be put to shame.
Therefore, in turning your matter over to God, He will make all things work for good, we just have to trust. Mark 11: 23-24 says
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
In these difficult times and apparent chaos, God reminds us to be still, believe and not doubt.
Prayer: Open your heart
Lord Jesus, I am in front of your presence asking you for forgiveness if I doubt everything. Today, I want to believe and trust the process that you, Jesus, have for each one of us. Thank you for reminding us that you are in the care of each one of us. Amen.
Friendly advice
My dear friends, we are all experiencing difficult times, but I want to tell you not to despair. When everything appears to be chaos, when the storm appears to be strong, God reminds us that he is in control. Remember, you are not alone. Seek help in organizational systems such as churches, government, and others.
