Good morning, Father, Christ my Savior, and my Dear Holy Spirit who gives me the “mind of Christ”. It is You, Christ, and you alone who saves me, not my faith. I cannot cling to my faith but to you, for even my faith will fail me often and I am left shivering and undone. But in all things, sorrows, deep pits, long aways, there is you with me, there is You, Father, holding me and mine in your hands of which nothing, not even my unbelief can snatch me away. Oh, Jesus, it is you and you alone who securely keep me when all else assails me, even my own doubts, you, and you alone save me. Often even, it is your Word that saves me from my unbelief, from my fears, and my constant waywardness until I feel lost again…then it is Your Word, “living and active” which is your voice again reassuring me that my security is your concern, your responsibility, your duty and you, above all else, are faithful. I know your voice, the voice of the Good Shepherd, and that voice is often your spoken Word, “sharper” than even my doubts, sharper than a “two-edged" sorrow, "piercing my soul, spirit”, even the marrow of my doubting body, saying, always saying, I am Yours and nothing, nothing, not anything in heaven above or earth below, can take me away from you and your love which will eventually carry me to heaven to be with you and mine already there.
