Why Do I Doubt?

Scripture: Luke 24 [38] He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?:

Observation: Jesus said this to His disciples when they saw Him come back from the grave. Jesus could say this to me almost every day. It seems I’m always troubled by something and my thoughts are so preoccupied that I don’t focus on what God wants. Each day I doubt that I should even be here and am not sure why I’m here. If I would just spend half of the time I spend worrying and doubting and take that time in prayer and thanksgiving I could accomplish so much for God’s kingdom.

Application: It is hard for me not to be distracted, but I must make a commitment to live my life so that it honors God. I have no other reason to be here then to serve God and to touch the lives of others in His name. I need to tell myself when I drift off to doubt that God is in control if I let Him steer my course.

Prayer: Dear Lord help me stay focused and take this anxiety from my spirit please. Fill me with the Holy Spirit and show me how to finish this race in glory and honor to you. I’m so lost help me please get on the path you have chosen for me.
