Faith every moment

A small spring bubbling up from the ground into a stone basin, overflowing steadily in three gentle streams that all come from the same source.

My God, I do believe in you. I believe in you as the Father, endless in love and power; the Son, who rescued me and is my life; and the Holy Spirit, my Comforter, Guide and Strength. Three in one, I trust you. I’m sure all you are, you are for me, and all you’ve promised, you will do. Lord Jesus, grow this faith. Teach me to wait and worship in your presence, until my faith takes in all God has for me. Let it see God as the spring of all life, working in the world and in me, longing in love to meet my desires. Lord Jesus, help me! Let faith so fill my heart that God alone lives there, and fill me every moment. Amen.

“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.
