Simple Sunday Prayer
"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed..." Luke 17:6
What is faith, really? And where do I find it, buy it and store it up for rainy seasons?
Is it in another hour of scrolling my screen in search of more meaning? Will I discover more faith by following the loudest voices with the flashiest bites? Or will faith be found somewhere more quiet?
Where can I buy these seeds, and how much do they cost? I am willing to pay a lot because I am sure, when watered, lit and given room to breathe my faith will grow into a real thing…
When will my doubt fade and my faith grow, immensely? The world is so big, and my fears are bigger. Where is the faith I need to see?
Loving God who has proven your presence over and over, I need more faith… again. I come frantically fumbling at the ATM of faith with fingers crossed there’s enough in my account for a withdrawal. As I pace and look over my shoulder in shame, your generous grace is here. Instead of seeking more faith to buy, find and store, my eyes rise to notice how small I am amidst your good will. Help me to believe, oh Lord, that even when my faith is as small as a mustard seed, you are already doing great things. Amen.
Amazing!! thank you
