Gods Rest Daily Prayer Devotional Why People Lack Confidence in Prayer

Why People Lack Confidence in Prayer

Matthew 11:28-29

28  Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls

Far too often God's people lack confidence.  Some people have low self-esteem, unhappy childhoods, teachers in school who were always critical, even relationships never last long.  
When a heart is born anew in God, "These same people lack confidence in God." For that reason Jesus said, "I will give you rest."

Being one in God's Rest is acknowledging that God lives in you through Christ Jesus. Not practicing this Rest by acknowledging God lives in you and you are upheld in Him by Christ Jesus as Your Good Shepherd is the reason people lack confidence in prayer. 

It is here you learn confidence by understanding everything that is already yours through His Word.  As well, by taking everything He created freely to work on their behalf.

In short, "When a person rests in God as One through the finished works of the cross-they learn to release His ability which is His faith into their situations.  They learn to release the ability of Jesus --which is His faith through the finished works of God on the cross."

At last, they learn to release their ability to choose--which is their faith, all that God has given to them and created for them through His Word to remain in victory.  Now, that is Good News!

Let's Turn our Hymns to:

How Sweet is My Rest

Barney E. Warren 1893

How sweet is the comfort and rest of my soul,

Where peace doth so tranquilly flow;

Though storm-cloud and tempest and dark billows roll,

All my heart with His sunlight doth glow.

Refrain:
How sweet is my rest! And how richly I’m blest!
Oh, how sweet is the rest of my soul!

Confession:

Father, in Jesus name I acknowledge You live in me and Jesus is the Door to my heart that You have entered in and live freely in me as an act of My Will.  Help me, by Your Spirit, know what You have already given to me; already created for me; to take and release your ability for every situation in my life so that I can walk in confidence one and for all in prayer.  In Jesus name. Amen.
