Fear can limit what God wants to do in our life.

Live it
"No way! That's impossible! That's never been done!" I wonder how many times the Disciples wanted to tell Jesus that, but felt their doubt might preclude what he planned to do. Some were brave enough to say what was on their mind, but most of the time, fear was their master and not Jesus. We shouldn't judge them too harshly howver, for we're no different. How many of us are afraid to tell Him we don't believe Scripture? Paul wrote in 1 Th 5:16-18, we should pray without ceasing. We can argue over what "without ceasing" means, but how many of us go day after day and never spend a single minute in prayer?

Luke 1:37 promises nothing is impossible with God. Really? Are we praying by faith for things most consider impossible? Eph 6:18 tells us to pray in the Spirit on all occasions. Really? Is church the only place we pray, or should I say, listen to someone else pray? Paul also said to pray with all kinds of prayers and requests. Really? I've identified at least forty different ways to pray. If you are praying, how many ways do you do it? Paul continued, "With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." I've saved the easiest question for last because I know you're consistently on guard and praying for other believers. Ok, I set you up! So here's a bonus question: if you never do what God expects you to do, how will you know he can do what he said he would do?

Pray it
I believe Lord, help my unbelief.
