Doubt in the Presence of our Lord

(S) The 11 disciples went to Gailee, to the Mt where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted. ~Matthew 28:16-17

(O) Even in the presence of our resurrected Lord, even during worship, we (I) can still doubt.

(A) Our daily lives run so much on feeling and emotions. How often is it that I myself doubt and wonder if I am simply going through religious acts, using religious words (lingo), or preforming religious actions, etc.? I find that the more complicated I expect (or make) Jesus to be or the more I try to "build" understanding... or systems of understanding.... that the easier it is for me to doubt. I just need to remember something very simple. The love that God has for me.

(P) I pray Lord that your love is ever present, seeping into my daily doubts and eliminating the 'dryness' of my everyday tasks. I pray that I can "be with you" each and every time that you are present.... which is always. Amen.

  1. I love these thoughts, Carlos. Doubt is inescapable - it will find us at various points during our life. But what's important is what we do with it - turn it either toward more doubt, or toward worship.

    Lord, let me turn from my doubts and turn toward You in worship.
