Day 25: Faith 

Matthew 14: 25-32 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

“Faith is to believe what we do not see; the reward of this faith is to see
what we believe” – Saint Augustine of Hippo

What areas of my life is God calling me to live in faith?

Prayer: Give us, O Lord, a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag
downwards; give us an unconquered heart, which no tribulation can wear out; give us
an upright heart, which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon us also, O
Lord our God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you,
and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you. Amen. (Prayer from St. Thomas
Aquinas)

Scripture declaration: 

I take courage, I will not be afraid. Jesus I trust in You, You are truly the son of God (based on Matthew 14: 25 - 32)
