Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: O Lord, help me to really believe. Help me to really believe that your heart for
me is good. Help me to really believe
that nothing can separate me from your love.
Help me to really believe that you will do what you say you will
do. Help me to take you at your
word. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Scripture Reading for the Day: Hebrews 11:7-28
Reading for Reflection:
There are two peculiar
characteristics of pure faith. It sees
God behind all the blessings and imperfect works which tend to conceal Him, and
it holds the soul in a state of continued suspense. Faith seems to keep us constantly up in the
air, never quite certain of what is going to happen in the future; never quite
able to touch a foot on solid ground.
But faith is willing to let God act with the most perfect freedom,
knowing that we belong to Him and are to be concerned only about being faithful
in that which he has given us to do for the moment. (Let Go by
Francois Fenelon)

Closing Prayer: Father, I thank you for this day, for what
it shall bring, opportunities, life, hope, strength. And for what it may take away. Teach me to trust you in the comings and the
goings of life. In the name of your Son,
Jesus, I pray. Amen. (Disciplines for
the Inner Life by Bob Benson and Michael W. Benson)
