Prayer – A prayer in doubt

Lord Jesus Christ, I believe and trust that you are the only-begotten Son of God, the Saviour of the world.
But like your Apostle Thomas, I am troubled by doubts and uncertainties. 
Because he loved you, you showed yourself to him, and confirmed his failing faith with loving compassion.
Keep my heart true to you in faith, hope, and love, despite the darkness of my mind,
You have promised blessedness to those who do not see, yet still believe.

Fulfill your promise, draw near to me in your holy word, in your sacraments, and in the communion of your church.
Send forth your light and your truth, let these be my guide.
With hands of faith stretched out to you, 
let me touch your saving wounds, 
so that in truthfulness and trust I can say with Thomas,

My Lord and My God!
Amen
