If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that my heart has been unbelieving and turned aside. I turn from my sin and from trusting myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I confess you as Lord and ask you to bring me near, forgive me, and make me new. Amen.

Come to Jesus with My Unbelief

Lord, revive your Church where faith has grown thin. Make us honest about our weakness, quick to trust you, and ready to bring hurting people close to you. Restore compassion, courage, and patience among us, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your Church in Faith

Father, when I feel weak in faith, don't let me hide from you. Bear with me, correct me, and teach me to come to Jesus quickly with every need, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Help My Weak Trust

Pray for: people who feel far from God; families carrying burdens that test their trust; believers who need courage to bring others to Jesus instead of withdrawing.

Bring Others Near to Jesus

Pray by thanking God for his patience when he corrects you. Name one time Jesus has borne with you, then ask him to grow your trust and help you respond quickly when he points something out.

Thank God for His Patience

Bring these before God: unbelief that needs turning from; a habit of resisting correction; the tendency to keep burdens at a distance; willingness to move toward Jesus rather than away.

Turn Us Back to Trust
