God has made for us two kinds of eyes:  those of flesh and those of faith.

John Chrysostom

Faith is not belief in spite of evidence, but life in scorn of consequences.

Kirsopp Lake

Faith gives to men on earth the protection of the God of heaven.

Author Unknown

We shall be made truly wise if we be made content; content, too not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand – the habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith in God.

Charles Kingsley

Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservations.

Elton Trueblood

Real, true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

D. L. Moody

We walk by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.

Hebrews 11:1

It is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

Philippians 2:13

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

John 15:7

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word. Help me walk in faithfulness with your word as my guide. Let my words and actions point others to You. You have shown me what your love is. Let me share Your goodness with all I meet.  Teach me to sow seeds of faith based on Your promises. When I feel like I am in the fire, remind me that you are holding me and I am in your care. Grant me patience to wait on You to bring the answers I need. Thank you for making all things beautiful in Your time.  Lead me through the tasks you have set before me.  Thank you for your gift of faith and prayer.  Amen.
