A Follow-up Prayer

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post, I want to offer up some lyrics from a song by Randy Thompson. The song is titled Lord Take Me.

I was listening to this song after writing the post about praying to counteract anxiety and thought my readers might find the chorus helpful as a prayer:

Malcolm Muggeridge has written, “The depravity of man is at once the most empirically verifiable reality but at the same time the most intellectually resisted fact.” One does not have to work very hard to find evidence that something is very broken in the world. If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that there is something very broken inside of us.

Doubt and Confusion

The question I have to ask myself is this, “if John the Baptist, arguably the greatest prophet sent before Christ, experienced doubt and confusion, why would I assume that I should be exempt?”

And he marveled at their unbelief

Mark 6 records the events when Jesus returned to his hometown of Nazareth. The townspeople were not quick to recognize the significance of what Jesus was doing. In fact, Mark records that Jesus “could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.” Jesus’ response […]
