“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
— Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
Reflection & prayer
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Lord, I have just said I believe, and I want it to be true all the way down. Where my faith is strong, thank You. Where it is thin, strengthen it. Where I believe with my lips but doubt in my heart, meet me there.
I believe You created me, so my life has meaning. I believe Your Son died for me, so my sins are not the end of the story. I believe He rose, so death is not the end either. I believe in the forgiveness of sins, so I can forgive. I believe in life everlasting, so I can hope.
