Do I believe that God makes a path in the desert? that God brings mountains low, and exalts valleys?
Do I believe that a hostile, homicidal king can be soothed with song?
Do I believe that the smallest of shepherds can bring down a giant, with five stones from the river?
Do I believe that five loaves and two small fish can feed a multitude?
Do I believe that my friend who faces eviction can be delivered?
Do I believe that the king who rages after him, can be soothed? that song can change an empire?
Do I believe that my community will care for him?
Do I believe that God makes a path in the desert?
Lord, help my unbelief.

Jen, you DO believe – in the goodness of people, the beauty of nature, in laughter and community. You believe in love and family and friends. Maybe these are your path’s in the desert, your song, your power, your sustanance, your safety.

Based only on my reading your blog posts, it is obvious to me that you do believe…in all these things. Sometimes, at least for me, even though I believe in my heart and the depths of my soul, my head gets the better of me and starts drowning out what I know by faith to be true.
Joining you in that prayer…. Lord, help our unbelief.
