Turn quickly to Jesus and ask him to steady you

Keep the struggle hidden until you feel strong again

Treat doubt as harmless so it never needs attention

Wait passively for courage before coming to God

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and that my faith has often wavered. I cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and confess you as my Lord and Savior. Reach out to me, hold me fast, and lead my life from this day on. Amen.

Lord Jesus, Hold Me Fast

Lord, revive your Church where our faith has grown thin. When we start to sink in fear, teach us to turn quickly to you. Make us a people who reach out with help, hold one another with compassion, and speak truth with humility. Renew us to trust you deeply again, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Our Weak Faith

Father, when my faith feels small and my heart begins to doubt, reach out and steady me. Help me not to hide my weakness from you. Hold me close, and teach me to trust your care today, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Steady My Wavering Heart

Name one place where you are wavering, tell God honestly what is shaking your trust, ask Jesus to steady you, and ask for one obedient next step you can take today.

Praying Through Doubt

Pray for a person who feels weak in faith: that Jesus would meet them quickly, keep them from being overwhelmed, and place caring believers around them.

For Someone Who Is Wavering

Give thanks that Jesus does not leave people to sink alone, that he reaches out with help, and that his correction comes with mercy and care.

Thank You for His Steady Hand
