Faith to believe

Daily Reading for February 2 • The Presentation of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Temple

Hope and fear, laughter and tears have been part of our journey.
Joy and pain, longing and doubt meet on the pathway.
Often we do not believe, O God,
and sometimes we doubt that your promises can be true.
Grant us and our world the freedom to laugh,
the courage to cry,
the heart to be open,
and the faith to believe.

From Celtic Treasure: Daily Scriptures and Prayer by J. Philip Newell (Eerdmans, 2005).
