Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” ~John 20:24-29
Father God, there will be seasons in my husband’s life when he will be a “Doubting Thomas.” He might question Your existence or just Your goodness, but either way, when those seasons come,I pray that You will show Yourself to him just as You did with Your disciple. Bust through the locked doors of his heart and allow him to touch You in ways he previous had never been able to. I pray that when that when those moments occur he will stop doubting and believe. Thank You for being a God who meets us individually. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
