Honest Frustration
Jesus went into the house. His followers were alone with him
there. They said, "We could not force that evil spirit out.
Why?"
-- Mark 9:28 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
I do believe many of us who seek to minister in the name of Jesus need
to ask this question more. "Why couldn't we do it, Lord?" More than
just being honest, we need answers. While we may not get that question
answered as clearly and exhaustively as we would like, we open the door
for God to teach us and we regain our place in humility in the presence
of the Almighty.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Dear Heavenly Father, I am frustrated about some things that have not
turned out as I believed they would. I trust in you. I want to serve
you and bring you glory. Yet things didn't happen who I thought should
have happened and people weren't touched that need to be touched.
Please help me understand why. If part of the problem is me, my faith,
or my character, please help me come to this understanding and work
with you on strengthening my area of weakness. In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
