ASLC Devotions - Wednesday

Mark 11:24 So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Sometimes I think we Christians aren't bold enough in our faith. Let me correct that and own it: sometimes I think I am not bold enough in my faith. Do you ever pray and TRULY believe that you've already received what it is that you're praying for? Do you ever pray "forgive us our trespasses" and really believe that you've already received forgiveness? Even harder, do you ever pray "as we forgive those who trespass against us" and really believe that you've received the ability to forgive?

So much stress and heartache could be avoided if we truly believed that we received all the good gifts contained in the Lord's Prayer.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
     hallowed be thy name,
     thy kingdom come,
     thy will be done,
          on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses,
     as we forgive those
          who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
     but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
     and the power, and the glory,
     forever and ever. Amen.


In Christ,
Pastor Seth
