Christ Urges Faith Not Fear/Doubt
The final week of Jesus’ earthly life
occupies more space in the gospels
than any other stage of His ministry.
Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem coincides
with the preparation for Passover.
Though events move quickly, Jesus
is not hurried. There is time to clean
out the temple, watch the widow
contributes her two mites and give
final instructions to the disciples.
Lord, we Pray In Faith & Not Doubt:
Some came from ruler of synagogue
and said: Your daughter is dead. As
soon as Jesus heard the message,
He said to the ruler of synagogue:
Do not be afraid, only Believe.
Then He came to the house, took
the child and said: Little girl, I say
to you, arise. Immediately the girl
arose and walked (Mark 5:35-43)
Jesus said: Have Faith In God.
For assuredly I say to you, whoever
says to this mountain: Be removed
and does Not Doubt in his heart,
But Believes that those things
he says will be done, he will have
whatever he says. (So) I say to you,
whatever things you ask when you
pray, Believe that you receive them
& you will have them (Mk 11:22-26)
Lord, we praise You that the same
power that raised Jairus’ daughter
from the dead and raised Jesus
from the dead is available to us.
Just as You turned dry bones alive
in times of Ezekiel 37, You can also
turn dead things to life these days.
Help us Not to fear but Believe; and
Open the eyes of our hearts to see
the working of Your power in us
who believe. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Lord, I have faith in You, the
Almighty, all loving faithful God;
and I believe that You reward
those who diligently seek You.
Lord, I place this issue before
You In Faith and Without Doubt
and seeking Your face and will.
Your Word says if I ask anything
according to Your will, You hear me
and I can have what I ask of You.
Into Your hand I surrender. Amen.
Lord, I come to You with my need
and desire, asking You In Faith and
claiming the promise in Mark 11:24.
Trust that the need is within Your
will; and implore You to reward
those who diligently seek You.
I know Lord that in Your sovereignty,
You do things Your way & Your time.
But Father, I plead for Your mercy
to grant me Your favor and favour
of men as soon as possible. Amen.
