Oh! For the mighty, convicting, convincing power of the Holy
Ghost! Oh! For faith to remove mountains, to expect them to be removed! Pray
for us, for the mountains are very tangible, and our faith is very weak.
~~Amy Carmichael
This
morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest
Christian Women Writers of All Time.
As
Amy Carmichael penned these words, she was on her way to Japan to serve as a
missionary. Even she, now looked upon as a model for world missions, admitted
that she struggled with trusting God. The mountains that stood in the way of
sharing Christ were tangible and seemingly impassable. Her faith seemed too
weak to move them. So she prayed for the Holy Spirit to fill her with the
faith she needed.
Take
comfort in that, dear sister. You don’t need to have “perfect faith” in order
for God to use you. You only need to be willing. When you go to the Source who
promises to give you the faith you need.
What
mountains are on your horizon, threatening to block God’s work? What challenge
seems more than you can handle? Cry out to God. He will give you faith to move
mountains.
Prayer
for Meditation
Lord, I do believe. Help me overcome
my unbelief.
Scripture
for Meditation
Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith
and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to
this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will
happen. You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.”
Matthew 21:21-22
