Listen to this daily worship

Hebrews 11: 1-3 (NRSVA)

1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.

So what it is it actually like having a faith? What does it feel like?

Having faith…

is being part of a noisy family

it’s having a library card to a huge archive

it’s having someone to talk to in the middle of the night

it’s a vague sense of something that gets me through the day

it’s a crystal clear insight out of the blue

it’s unexpected beauty

it’s sorrow and hope

it’s a handful of answers and a boatload of questions

it’s the wisdom of friends

it’s a sense of belonging

it’s being recognised

it’s being fed

it’s being heard.

PRAYER:

Dear God,

There are as many kinds and expression of faith

as there are believers,

We are no two of us the same,

but we are perhaps all looking for an ear,

for a shoulder,

for something to eat.

I rejoice in the fact

that in you

we have space to belong

and time to be heard.

Amen.
