Whenever I come to a place in my life where I am anxious or afraid
or in despair or wonder what I am here for,
I find it helpful to stop and state what I really believe.
Lord God, I believe that You love me
And that You made me for a purpose.
Lord, I believe that I shall die not a moment sooner
Nor a moment later than You decree.
Lord, I believe that I shall suffer
Neither more nor less that You decide.
Lord, I believe that I shall complete the work
That You have planned for me to do on earth.
Lord Jesus, as You died and rose from death
So I believe that I too shall rise from death.
Lord, I believe that in the resurrection I shall see
And understand all that is hidden from me now.
Lord, I believe that, because of the resurrection
New life springs out of every kind of death.
Lord, I believe that all my dear ones in the same way
Are safe in Your capable and moulding hands.
Therefore, Lord, I believe that all anxiety is sin
And I renounce it as unnecessary, wasteful and hurtful,
And Lord, I commit myself to You with all my heart
To be set free to live and love and serve Your children.
AMEN
