Enduring Word Bible- Believe

Enduring Word Bible-#44

John 20: 24-31
Jesus and Thomas
You know, the doubting guy.
Who I would have matched in a heartbeat.
This is crazy... 
Thomas believes his friends have added
 hallucinations to their mixed bag of life conditions.
All doors locked...check.
Jesus suddenly appears
inside
the room with the disciples.
WHOA ...WHAT?
"Peace be with you."-well, 
that sounds like Jesus.
Directing Thomas to do the very thing
 he said he would need to do to believe.
Touch here, see here, put your hand here.
This is a game-changer.
This is my Jesus- my Lord and my God.
Things from here on out are 
gonna just have to be different.
No going back-
 Thomas believes.

Dear Lord,
Help me in all of the trust situations 
when I doubt who you are and
 the reality of your aliveness.
Lead me to see when things are blurry,
help me to put my hand in yours
 when I feel alone and scared.
Allow me the space to set aside my fears
 to shine the light in the darkness,
 that YOUR LIGHT casts away the shadows.
When I do not have the ability to trust
 and believe on my own accord, 
send me the power of the Holy Spirt
 to cling to you day and night.
Amen.
