I believe in the sun, even though it doesn’t shine.

I believe in love, even when it isn’t shown.

I believe in God, even when he doesn’t speak.

Confession of Sins

Lord Jesus, you call on me to walk by faith and not by sight. And yet the reality is that so often I don’t.

Instead of bringing my concerns to you and asking for help, I often try to handle them by myself.

Page 16: Seeing ... with the eyes of faith

Instead of believing that you are with me in my dark times, I often complain that I’m all alone and that nobody cares . . . not even you.

Page 17: Seeing ... with the eyes of faith

Instead of dismissing the noises around me, I so often get distracted by them and so I miss hearing your reassuring promises.

Page 18: Seeing ... with the eyes of faith

Forgive me, Lord. Forgive me for my lack of faith. Through your Spirit, help me to truly believe, to see with the eyes of faith. Amen.
