Devotion for Friday, 6/5/26
When you are praying for someone’s salvation, you can’t always believe what that person says. Sometimes people say things they don’t mean.
I drifted far from God when I was in college. When my mom confronted me about not going to church, I said I didn’t know if I even believed in God. But that wasn’t true! I knew God was real.
My mom was so mad at me that she disowned me. She said, “You’re not my daughter anymore!” We lost contact for over a year. All this time, God wasn’t worried. He knew I would someday be sold out for Him.
It must have seemed to those who were praying for me like their prayers weren’t going past the ceiling. But that wasn’t true at all.
You might feel like that, too. You say you can’t see what God is doing. OK. You don’t see what He is doing! But guess what? He wants you to trust Him anyway, without seeing the whole picture. That’s what faith is!
Start thanking God for what He is doing and remember what He has done for you in the past. Pray and don’t give up!
“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1 NIV
Then Jesus said,
“And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:7-8 NIV
When Jesus comes back, will He find you trusting Him even though you can’t see what He is doing?
In His Love, Cindy
