A friendly monk we met on the road-side who showed us all around the pagodas, speaking the most broken English I have ever heard. I probably comprehended about 1 in 50 words - which was enough to roughly follow what he was saying, so I nodded along. He gave Pete and I an entire schpeel, carrying on as if we understood him completely. Here he is holding up the scriptures and standing in an old pagoda that is built around a bamboo skeleton.

When Faith Wavers
Scriptures: James 1:5-8
" But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind." (v.6)
If we believe that God is who He says He is and will do what He has promised, why do so many of us habitually waver in our prayers? Instead of exercising bold faith, we come to the Lord “hoping” He will hear us and answer our requests, but we’re just not sure He will. With this kind of thinking, we cannot expect to receive anything from Him.
One reason we are so prone to doubt is that we fail to see God at work in our circumstances. We asked, and nothing happened. But the Lord is not some cosmic bellhop who jumps in response to our requests. He sees past, present, and future and knows the right time for every answer. His invisible hand is already at work on our behalf—arranging situations to accomplish His will, opening hearts, and preparing us to receive what He wants to give.
Another cause for uncertainty is ignorance. If we don’t know God’s ways, we will be disappointed in His response. All too often our prayers are accompanied by expectations of how He will work. When He fails to intervene according to our timetable or anticipated method, we start to doubt. But placing our faith in the Lord and trusting in His good and perfect ways gives us stability as we wait for His answer.
To overcome doubts, spend time in the Word to learn God’s principles and ways. Then you’ll begin to grasp what He wants to achieve in your life and how He goes about it. Examine your past from a biblical perspective—faith will grow as you see the unexpected ways He answered your prayers.

psalm 1:1
blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
"Lord Jesus, may I always recognize Your Saving Presence in my life and never forget Your Promises when I encounter trials and difficulties.
Give me a #Faith that never wavers, a #Hope that never fades, and a #Love that never grows cold."
