Dear God the Father in Heaven You who have created all things visible and invisible on Earth and in Heaven. We fix our eyes up to Heaven, seeking You in our hearts that You come alive for every man who doubts You Lord God Almighty creates. You who know all thoughts and motives. You who are omniscient we seek You for the enlightenment of the soul, and the Spirit. Fill "Cathy" with Your knowledge and give her great joy in and read your Holy Word, the Bible Reveal Yourself to her Lord Jesus so that she never again doubts You. We pray that You give her what she asks for a faith that can stand against everything, a faith that can move mountains Lord Jesus hear our prayer. She will become one of Yours and stand up for Your cause always Lord Jesus. Fill her heart Thou Lord for then we know it will be good. By the will of God the Father, Amen.
John 3 chapter notice John the Baptist's words especially here dear you. Love u in Christ.
I don't know what your doubt is. But if you are struggling with your relationship with God and whether or not God has saved you, that is NOT a bad place to be. It could be a very health place to be.
First and foremost, spend time reading the Bible knowing that when you do, you are sitting at the feet of God Himself, listening to God as He speaks to you through His Word. Do not worry if you do not understand much of what you are reading. You will be in the environment where God saves and leads us into Truth.
You might read the Book of Jonah which is God's account of how He saved many of the Ninevites. Nineveh was the capital of Assyria, a very wicked nation with essentially no knowledge at all of the Word of God. But as Jonah preached to them and declared that God would destroy them in 40 days, they humbled themselves recognizing that they were in deep and terrible trouble with God, and they cried to God for Mercy that maybe God would repent and not destroy them, in other words that God might save them. And we see that God did save 120,000 of them because He was all the time drawing them and causing them to come to Him with no righteousness in themselves what so ever. In other words, God must do all the work in saving us. And God does not save us based on what we know about the Bible nor because of anything we do. As the Hymn goes "nothing in my hands I bring, only to thy Cross I cling". Our trust must be in Christ ALONE and the work that He has done in saving any one of us. Christ came to save sinners deserving of His Wrath; not people who think they are worthy in any sense.
You might also read Ezekiel 36:24-31 which is a beautiful picture of Salvation with God doing all of the Work to Save us.
Most importantly, spend time reading the Word of God, the Bible, recognizing that the Bible ALONE and its ENTIRITY is the WORD OF GOD and is the authority for our life.
