Day 1 - Faith Series: James 1:6

James 1:6 New International Version (NIV)

6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

The epistle of James was sent to Christians who had been scattered abroad as a result of persecution. He knew that the human response to the difficulties and dangers we face in life can either cause us to doubt God's goodness or increase our trust in His sufficient grace.

James knew that disbelief in God's goodness and power.. during times of great problems and pain, results in a man or woman being buffeted and bruised by the circumstances of life.. and being unstable in their faith and victims of the situation they are facing - instead of becoming victors through the sufficient strength, that is supplied to all God's children, by faith.

And so James reminds us that the trials we face are designed to test our dependence upon God; strengthen our faith in Him and drive us to our knees in prayer and supplication - so that we may receive His grace and mercy to help in time of need. And so we are called upon to pray - we are called upon to pray for wisdom.

James does not necessarily encourage these believers to cry out for God's help or His strength in their desperate time of need, nor does he advise them to request an escape from the fiery trial they are facing. James does not even plead for an easy release from the various trouble that is pursuing their path. He is wanting these believers to come to a deeper knowledge of the Lord.. and a more secure trust in God.. and so he exhorts them to pray for wisdom.. so that in their trial, they will learn the precious lesson that the Lord desires to teach them.. and God gives liberally to all who simply ask Him.. But there is a condition in this prayer request for wisdom in times of trouble: let him ask in faith without doubting... for the enemy of all prayer is unbelief

How important that our prayers are not a ritual or a duty, but are offered to the Lord in faith.. How important to pray in faith, expecting the Lord to answer our request. The walk of faith is a life that is lived trusting God in the midst of difficulties, holding fast to His precious promises and knowing that God's word stands fast for ever and ever - but prayer that is offered up in unbelief causes a man or woman to be tossed hither and thither by doubts and uncertainty about God's goodness and grace.

Day 13 - God Promises: Philippians 4:6-9

Philippians 4:6-9 New International Version (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.



Philippians 4:6 Commentary: provided by Joel Osteen - Anxious for Nothing
So many people today are living uptight, worried and anxious about the future, filled with frustration and concern. In the natural there may be good reason, but understand, living that way is not God’s best. God doesn’t want us to be filled with anxiety and frustration; He wants us to live in peace. You can find rest in Him knowing that no matter what is happening around you, God Almighty has His hand on you.

The next time you’re tempted to worry or be anxious about something, remember this verse. God invites us to come to Him. In fact, the Bible says He rewards those who diligently seek Him. But notice, we can’t just come to Him any old way. He wants us to come to Him with a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving. Begin by simply saying, “Father in heaven, thank You for the privilege to come before You. Thank You for hearing my prayers.” As you come to Him with an open and humble heart, He will hear you and fill you with His peace and joy to live free from anxiety all the days of your life!
