How can I know?

But Abram said, "O Sovereign Lord, how can I know that I will take possession of it." Genesis 15:8

Abram believed that God would give him more descendants then he could count, but in the same breath he seemed to doubt that God would give him the land. He questioned God saying, "How can I know?"

Lord, why is the human heart so fickle? One moment I can be elated with Your blessing, and the next I am overwhelmed by dreadful darkness. At least I am not alone. Even Abram was fickle - believing one moment and doubting the next.

You have been so amazing lately, Lord. I have sensed Your presence when I have needed You most, but now my heart questions. How can I know that I am not alone? This past week has been overwhelming, yet You have been there. The next week has greater things in store. Will You be here again?

Father, forgive my doubts. Meet me on this journey. Keep me from the ways of darkness so that others might see Your light shining through me.
