He is still unsure whether the account is true

Weigh it seriously and respond with trust

Wait for your own firsthand access before considering it

Respect it, but keep belief completely separate from it

Assume the claim can never matter unless everyone agrees

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and I need your mercy. I turn from my sin and ask you to forgive me. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I trust your witness and confess you as Lord of my life. Come into my life and lead me in your truth. Amen.

Receive the True Witness

Lord, revive your Church to be a people who speak truthfully about Jesus and live with integrity. Heal fear, pride, and half-heartedness in us. Make our witness clear and trustworthy so that many may come to believe, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Renew Our Witness

Thank God for a testimony that can be trusted, for a witness who speaks truthfully, and for the way he uses honest witness to draw people toward belief.

Thankful for a Trustworthy Testimony

Pray by naming one doubt you carry, asking God to clarify what is true, and then asking him for the courage to trust the witness he has given.

Praying Through Doubt

Lord, when I am uncertain, help me trust what is true. Give me humility to receive testimony, courage to believe, and obedience that matches what I say I believe, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Help Me Trust What Is True

Pray for a person who has heard about Jesus but still hesitates: that God would remove confusion, send faithful witnesses, and open their heart to believe.
