The Prayer of a Faithless Christian

"But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tommorow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?" Matthew 6:30

Lord, I confess my faithlessness to you. God, you are so faithful, yet I remain so faithless. Your word tells me you know my needs. In your word, you promise to supply them. God, how faithless am I? Cleanse me of my unrighteousness. Cleanse me O gracious Lord of my faithlessness. Lord, in my mind I believe in your sovereignty, yet I do not commit myself to trusting in it with my heart. Forgive me Lord for not trusting in you. I am so faithless when you are so faithful. Forgive me for worrying about money and things, because I know it only brings dishonor to your holy and sovereign name. Lord, I cry out to you for your providence! Lord hear my prayer! God, help me to seek first the kingdom of God and Your Righteousness. For when these things are my priority, you will supply my needs. Lord I believe, but O God, help me in my unbelief! Give me strength when I am weak. Give me peace when I am in turmoil. Give me joy in suffering! Give me faith when I am so faithless! To you be the glory and the honor and the praise!
