Faith

Father God, Please help my Unbelief

Father, I can’t do this without you. There are times when my mind is full of doubts. What if things will not go well? What if the pain will not end? What if this mess grows bigger? I’m just so tired. I hear so many voices in my head telling me to give up and stop everything that I’m doing. I hear a whisper that says, I am worthless. I know you are there, but why can’t I feel you? Why can’t I feel your love? Where are you, Lord? I need your help.

Please increase my faith. It seems like I’m on my own now. I’m so lonely and troubled. My soul is dying on the inside. I don’t know where to go or how to find my way back. All I can see are the problems around me. I tried my best, but I always failed in the end. I can longer pick up myself. I feel so weak, and the wounds in my heart are killing me. I want to keep moving, Lord, so please help my unbelief.

Nobody knows my struggles except you. I stopped sharing what I felt because I didn’t think people understood me. I don’t trust them anymore. That’s why I keep everything on my own. I carried the pain and all the burdens. And now, I’m lying down everything to you. It’s so heavy that I find myself almost buried on the ground. Darkness surrounds me, and I can’t see the future that you promised in my life. So Father, teach me how to deal with my problems.

I can’t live this life without you. Teach me how to believe in your promises that I may stop listening to the lies of the enemy. I know that you are powerful enough to take away all my burdens, but if you don’t change my situation, please help me change the way I see things. Open my heart and mind so that I’ll see your goodness and grace. I’m done relying on myself, Lord. All this time, I trusted in my own strength, but now you’ve opened my eyes and made me realize that my life is worthless without you.

Please give me a humble heart to obey your words. Take away the impurities within and heal all my wounds. Teach me how to put my trust in you and not in the temporary things around me. Prepare my mind and soul for the things I prayed for. In moments when you wanted to teach me about your love through the pain that I experience from others, please give me patience and the willingness to endure so that your plans will not be wasted. Whatever it is that you wanted me to learn, please give me ears that are always willing to listen to your gentle whispers. Help me, Lord, that I may be able to fully accept your grace. Remind me always that this life is not about my own accomplishments, but it’s about bringing glory to your Name.

Increase my faith, Lord. Empower me to do your work. Take away the doubts in my mind and teach me how to deal with my fears. Embrace me every day so that I’ll always remember the great things that are waiting for those who love you. Lead me to the right path, especially in times when I walk through the wilderness. Heal my heart, Lord, and plant your words within so that one day, it will grow and bear more fruit. Father, I only have you. I know that everything that I have comes from your hands. So I offer them back to you.

Come and have your way in my life.

In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.
