CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Let your faith roar so loud that you can’t hear what doubt is saying.” Author unknown.
During times like this coronavirus pandemic it may be more difficult to believe in God. How can God let this terrible thing happen to us and to the whole world? Yet, at the end of April, when the Coronavirus was hitting us hard and so many were quarantining, a Pew Research Center survey of Americans found that 24% said that as a result of the pandemic there faith was stronger. Only 2% said their faith was weaker.
When people say they don’t believe in God, or when we ourselves express disbelief in God, our actions usually portray something different. People may say they don’t believe but find themselves praying for something good to occur when a loved one is ill. People who believe that this world is nothing but chaos or that creation is random still desire and strive for order in their lives. People who say that the world is bad still hope for good things to happen to them. People who say there is no love in this world still hope to be loved. Unbelievers still yearn for something more in their lives, and essentially pray for their holes to be filled.
God sees our disbelief and tells us to believe. I think of Christ coming to the disciples after breathed his last breath on the Christ and saying to Thomas, touch my, fill the wounds in my skin. And he felt for Thomas for not believing until he did see him, did touch him.
God, help us through this difficult time. Fill our holes. We pray for you, even at times of disbelief. Let our faith in you roar so loud that we can’t even hear what doubt is saying.
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Knoxville area in face of Covid-19 as there has been a recent rise in hospitalizations here. Prayers for Romeo after his very serious motorcycle accident.
