Call to Worship
(inspired by John 20:24-29)
Thomas
said:
“Unless
I see the mark of the nails
and
put my hand in his side,
I
will not believe.”
We
are often skeptical people,
driven
by our senses,
relying
on that which we can hear, see or prove.
Our
Lord asks us to see the invisible,
to
trust in the spirit, to have faith.
Lord,
give us faith!
Sometimes
we get carried away by our emotions,
by
wishful thinking
and
by popular trends that pull us in.
Lord,
help us to be bold in our beliefs,
but
also careful as Thomas was.
Move
us beyond mere trust in ordinary things
and
open our eyes for spiritual realities.
Jesus
said: “Blessed are those who have not seen
and
yet have come to believe.”
Amen.
