Dear Father, trustworthy God,
You alone are worthy of faith, for you alone have the power to
keep promises. Increase my faith, Lord. May I have the full
assurance of what I hope for, the firm conviction of the reality of
what I do not yet see.
Give me faith in your creation and ordering of the world, that
what is here is made out of what does not appear.
Give me faith like Abel, who sought your approval and whose faith
still speaks beyond his death.
Give me faith like Enoch, who walked so close to you that you took
him to yourself without his having to die.
Give me faith like Noah, who was willing to preach your message to
an unregenerate and unrepentant world.
In the name of Jesus, who died in my place. Amen.
Thank you. God_bless you. Thomas
