PPF: The Call to Surrender

When Jesus visited his hometown,

He was not able to work miracles,

signs and wonders,

because of the people's lack of faith.

(Matthew 13:54-58)

When I feel I lack faith,

I just pray like the 

boy's father in Mark 9:24,

"Help my unbelief!"

At the heart of faith is the call

to surrender. (from The Word Among Us)

I believe our doubts, instead of driving God away,

makes Him come nearer.

Just like Jesus came to 

Thomas and said in John 20:27,

"Put your finger here...stop doubting and believe,"

He will also answer our prayer

to have more faith.

We just need to surrender,

and say, "Help me, Lord!

Help my unbelief!"

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet

thrown into the sea of the world-

God calls ALL of us,

saints and sinners,

the doubting, the faithful,

the ones with a lot of questions,

and the ones like little children 

who have a simple faith.

God will meet us where we are!
