Faith enough

Exodus 32:11-14

But Moses implored the Lord his God, and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce wrath; change your mind and do not bring disaster on your people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, how you swore to them by your own self, saying to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever. ’” And the Lord changed his mind about the disaster that he planned to bring on his people.

There are times

when our faith

small as it is

Has to be enough

for others too

Enough for those

who cannot see

beyond the confusion

or the hurt

or the evil

that affects their lives.

The God of compassion

listens to prayer

and honours faith, 

however wavering

gathering those 

who are beloved

of God

upheld by the prayers

of the faithful.
