“Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Believe in God; believe also in me.”
—John 14.1
People have little glittery knick knacks and posters
that say “Believe”… often accompanied by unicorns.
Every Christmas the movies want you to “believe!”
In what? Santa Claus? Unicorns?
We’re ruining that word.
What Jesus means is to trust,
not just to think the spindly rope bridge will hold,
but to walk across it.
+
Beloved, beyond opinions about you,
we entrust ourselves to your grace.
We trust your loving presence, and we follow.
Every day, though the bridge is sometimes shaky,
we are learning to trust you.
Breath prayer:
Trust . . . love
