Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
(John 6:29 NIV)
Why do I make it so complicated?
Why do I turn my back in disbelief?
Why do I think I can make in on my own?
I hear You tell me, Lord:
The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.
Believe.
Trust.
Know.
I do believe, help my unbelief.
Help me caste away my independence and throw myself onto Your merciful lap.
Turn my eyes upon You, not on my incompleteness and failures.
Holy Spirit, refresh me with Your power to nourish my unfolding faith.
I am learning to trust you with EVERYTHING.
So straightforward.
You tell us so simply, so lovingly, so unconditionally.
Just believe.
Just trust.
