CONFIDENCE IN THE LIVING GOD

May 13

hildren of the King, you need to increase your conversations in strong confidence with your Heavenly Father. When you talk with the Father, you demonstrate faith in His word that He exists, and that He is a "rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."(Hebrew 11:6b) In other words, there are many of my children who are striving with their flesh, or who are weak in their faith for one reason or another, and these believers do not feel the confidence to boldly address their God. I remind you that you must not live your life in Christ based on what you feel, but rather based on His powerful, true words from His Bible. Here is a way to humbly address your Heavenly Father, "Savior, I have a weakness at this moment in my faith and confidence toward you. However, your word teaches me that your love for me and your desire to communicate with me never change regardless of how weak I am in my faith. For this reason, I call upon your holy name to come to me and deliver me from this timidity and shyness that I feel, and I ask you to send the Holy Spirit of Love and Power to carry me and my praying heart straight to the throne of your great mercy! I will not approach you on my own, but by your mercy and grace, you promise to “never leave you, nor forsake you, not!” (Hebrew 13:5b NKJV) I worship you my Father and I know that I cannot earn the right to call upon you or to speak humbly and reverently to you. I don't need to. Jesus, your precious Son bought and paid for that right and privilege for me through shedding His holy blood for me. Through Him and His great name, I beseech you to come to me and deliver me from all evil. Guide my pathway and lead me straight to you, even though I fail through fleshly sin and self-will. I confess my weaknesses to you and thank you again that you do not cast me out, but that you draw me to you in tenderness and love.

What a blessing you are Father! I worship you and know that you want me to speak to you always without interruption! Give me courage and grace to do so, in Jesus' name, amen!
