Morning by Morning, June 8 - Speaking Words from Faith Good morning, Lord Jesus. I speak out Your name over my day and all I’ll face and all I’ll overcome by the power of Your grace. ... “So Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them” (Mark 11:22-24). These are Your Words. This is Your invitation -- to believe in faith, to pray in faith, to speak in faith, to receive in faith. So deliver me from doubt. Break off my unbelief. Increase my faith (Luke 17:5; Mark 9:24). Don’t let any disappointments from past prayers define the limits of my faith for my present prayers. “With God all things are possible” (Mark 10:27). And in Your own Words, “All things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23). Instead of coming up with bad theologies, empty philosophies based on arguments from silence in past experiences, or distorted interpretations of the Word of God to try to explain away any lack of my experience of the Truth of Your Words, I humble myself to ask You for the grace of obedience to obey the express command of Your Scripture: “Have faith in God.” I can’t make that happen. “Apart from (You), I can do nothing” (John 15:5). But I praise God that I’m never apart from You. You’re always with me (Matthew 28:20). And You’re always reminding me by the moving of Your Spirit in my heart, “It is (our) Father’s good pleasure to give (us) the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). So align my heart with Yours, my thoughts with Yours, my words with Yours. Put Your thoughts in my mind and Your desires in my heart so that that the words that come out of my spirit in prayer and my mouth in faith are expressions of Your heart and mind and will -- here on earth as it is in heaven, according to the will of God (Luke 11:2). That’s the kind of faith I want to have. That’s the kind of words I want to speak. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
