In our lives, there are many changing seasons. We go from feeling joyful and close to the Lord, to grieving and feeling like he is distant. We wrestle with our doubts and questions, wondering if God even hears us or if he is even real. Our faith decreases when we look around us, not up God and His purpose. No Christian goes through this life without feeling weak in their faith at times, but we all can take comfort in knowing our God is Immanuel– He is with us in every season, whether good or bad.
May these 10 prayers grow your faith, encourage your weary heart, bring you hope, and remind you of God’s constant presence and endless faithfulness.

Lord, I believe:
I wish to believe in Thee.
Lord, let my
faith
be full and unreserved,
and let it penetrate my thought,
my way of judging Divine things and human things.
Lord, let my
faith
be joyful
and give peace and gladness to my spirit,
and dispose it for
prayer
with God
and conversation with men,
so that the inner bliss of its fortunate possession
may shine forth in sacred and secular conversation.
Lord, let my
faith
be humble and not presume
to be based on the experience of my thought and of my
feeling;
but let it surrender to the testimony of the Holy Spirit,
and not have any better guarantee than in docility to
Tradition
and to the authority of the magisterium of the Holy Church.
Amen.
