Isaiah 29:17-24; Psalm 27: 1, 4, 13-14; Matthew 9:27-31

Faith lift

While the Lord requires faith for the comparatively less important gift of a miracle, faith is a must for those who want to be and to stay close to God. As it is written, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.” There are many ways in which we can give ourselves a “faith lift”. Always at hand, and the easiest, is prayer. One prayer I’m fond of is the one the epileptic boy’s father prayed. “Lord I believe. Help my unbelief.”
