A prayer for Joshua 1:5
Father, I come to you carrying the weight of feeling abandoned. I confess that when I cannot feel you, I have assumed you are not there. Forgive me for trusting my feelings over your promise. Today I choose to believe your Word over my doubt. You said you would never leave. You said you would never forsake. I hold onto that. Not because it makes sense, but because it is true. Thank you for staying when everything in me wanted to believe you had gone. This is the day you have made. I will rejoice in it. In Jesus' name, Amen.
