In times of doubts and questionings

In times of doubts and questionings, when our belief is perplexed by new learning, new thought, when our faith is strained by creeds, by doctrines, by mysteries beyond our understanding, give us the faithfulness of learners and the courage of believers in thee . . . save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.



Chiefly, O Lord, we beseech thee, give us knowledge of thee, to see thee in all thy works, always to feel thy presence near, to hear and know thy call. May thy Spirit be our spirit, our words thy words, and thy will our will, and in all shortcomings and infirmities may we have sure faith in thee, save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.
