Trust.

Instead of enabling doubt to create a wedge, let it spur on a deeper pursuit of His heart. Take a few moments to reflect and journal on the following questions:

• If you could get God on the phone and ask him just one question, what would you ask Him and why?
• What did you face over the past year that caused you to question God’s goodness, faithfulness or timing? How did that, as well as your response to it, impact your relationship with God?

Reflect on the following passages of Scripture. 

1 Corinthians 13:12

12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 

Isaiah 55:8-12

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, 
and do not return to it without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, 
but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. 

Jeremiah 29:11-14

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. 

Proverbs 3:5-8

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. 8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

Having reflected on the following passages, write out in your own words some truths you can cling to in the midst of your doubt. End your time in prayer by being honest about some of the doubts and difficult questions you have.

What are you learning from God as this year closes? Is there something that he is showing you in the midst of wrapping everything up? What question not only would you ask God but more importantly what do you think he would ask you? 

May today you be grounded in his knowledge and wisdom.
