My faith


Be sure that your faith is in God alone (James 1:6; NLT).

God,
My faith does not rely on visions,
Words received, or signs;
On miracles, or holy shrines;
Or special prayers, or days, or times.

God,
My hope does not depend on healing,
Help, or fears subdued;
On answered pleas, or daily food;
Or promises of life renewed.

God,
My love is not upheld by priests,
Or men, or joy to come;
Or anything but being one
With You, your Spirit, and your Son.

I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one (John 17:22; NLT).

I pray, kneeling before the Father, from whom every family, whether spiritual or natural, takes its name: Out of his infinite glory, may he give you the power through his Spirit for your hidden self to grow strong, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, and then, planted in love and built on love, you will with all the saints have strength to grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth; until, knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond all knowledge, you are filled with the utter fullness of God (Ephesians 3:14-19; JB).
