"But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." James 1:6 NIV

Have you ever been on a boat, a ferry or a ship and felt contrary winds, disturbing waves or uneasy waters? Well, this could be an unsettling experience to any of us. But that is a similar feeling we have when we doubt. Many of us have taken the first step and asked the Lord for a particular thing. But we fold doubt into the request and send our mind on an uncertain journey, complete with unnecessary turbulence and unwarranted confusion. My sisters and brothers, I challenge you, on your Lenten journey and after, to trust the Lord who has our tomorrows in His hand, believe even when you can’t see and depend on the captain of the ship we find ourselves on to safely get us to our destination.

Let us pray:

Dear God, help me to receive the guidance and love of the Holy Spirit. Strengthen my faith to be able to quiet my waves of self-inflicting injuries that whip my soul with the winds of my own fear. Allow the Word of God to calm my sea of insecurities. Strengthen me with your power to grow in faith and calm the sea of my soul. I thank you, Father, in advance for what You are already doing in my life and hearing my prayer. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
