Confession of Faith
I came across this “Confession of Faith” in the back of the “Praise” hymnal published by Zondervan.
I believe, O Lord, in You.
Father, Word, Spirit, One God;
that by your Fatherly love and power
all things were created;
that by Your goodness and love to man
all things have been gathered into one
in Your Word.
Who, for us men and for our salvation,
become flesh,
was conceived, was born,
suffered, was crucified,
died, was buried,
descended, rose again,
ascended, sat down,
will return, will repay;
that by the forth-shining and operation of Your Holy Spirit
has been called out of the whole world a peculiar people,
into a commonwealth of faith in the truth
and holiness of life,
in which we are partakers of the communion of saints
and forgiveness of sins in this world,
and in which we look for the resurrection of the flesh
and the life everlasting
in the world to come.
This most holy faith once delivered to the saints
I believe, O Lord;
help my unbelief,
increase my little faith!

You are reading this on Sunday morning. I am writing this on Tuesday morning. As I was typing this, the words were jumping off the page because I am in the midst of a very discouraging morning and I needed these words! Thank You, Lord.

Compass Pointers: Don't pray to escape trouble. Don't pray to be comfortable in your emotions. Pray to do the will of God in every situation. Nothing else is worth praying for. Samuel M. Shoemaker
Anchored to the Rock: Until we believe that prayer is indeed a real and highly significant activity, that it does in fact reach beyond space and time to the God who is actually there, we will never acquire the habits of worship and intercession. In order to gain these habits, we must make a conscious effort to overcome the part of us that thinks that praying is not a natural part of life. Gordon MacDonald
