“Be merciful to those who doubt.” -Jude 1:22
Heavenly Father, Fount of Wisdom and Truth, You are the source of all truth and love. In a world where doubt often clouds the hearts of many, You call us to respond nonjudgmentally, with mercy. Lord, soften our hearts so that we may see those who struggle not as lost causes, but as souls in need of Your grace. May we reflect Your patience and compassion, just as You have been patient with us in our own moments of uncertainty, weakness and doubt.
Lord Jesus, You walked among doubters and skeptics, yet You never turned them away. You welcomed Thomas in his disbelief, You restored Peter after his denial, and You gently guided many who struggled with faith. Help us to embody that same love, to listen with understanding, and to offer strength and encouragement, rather than condemnation. May our words and actions be a beacon of hope that draws others closer to You.
Holy Spirit, fill us with the wisdom and kindness needed to minister to those who are wrestling with doubt. Give us the right words to speak and the humility to know when to simply listen. Let our faith be strong enough to support those who waver, and may our mercy be a testimony to the endless grace You offer. We trust that through Your power, even the most uncertain hearts can find their way back to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
