When faith doesn't see
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”Hebrews 11:1
Reflection
Faith is not feeling certain — it's deciding to trust even without seeing. If you could see, you wouldn't need faith. Today, perhaps you're in a moment when everything seems to demand proof, and God is asking for trust. Don't mistake silence for absence. The farmer plants weeks before seeing it sprout; the father waits years before seeing the child grow. Faith is not blind — it chooses to see where the eyes haven't yet arrived.
Prayer
Father, I don't always see Your hand, but I choose to trust. Sustain my faith when it falters. Amen.
Put it into practice
Write down a request you have not yet seen answered and, beside it, write: "I trust even without seeing".
To reflect on
Where is God asking you to trust without yet having the answer in your hands?
