But when you ask God, you must believe and not doubt. Anyone who doubts is like a wave in the sea, blown up and down by the wind. Such doubters are thinking two different things at the same time, and they cannot decide about anything they do. They should not think they will receive anything from the Lord. [James 1:6-8 (NCV)]
Lord, I offer my prayers to you. I know you hear them and I’m confident that you can do all things. Yet, my faith wavers. Because I am so unworthy of your love, I’m not sure I really expect you to answer me. Even when I see your hand at work, when I see my prayers answered, it is difficult for me to believe that my appeals had anything to do with your action. Reassure me, O Lord, that even the prayers of a lowly sinner like me are powerful.
