Thought for Today

A BOLD FAITH

Father,
A bold faithI ask:

Not one withered and
Speaking with a tired tongue,
But one fresh with future
Leading me from soul chaos.

A bold faithI ask:

Not one tight and
Wrinkled from worries,
Hiding under the trap door
Of self-will,
But one open and
Daring to lift the lid.

A bold faithI ask:

Not one loving
With the heart of a dead man,
But one alive with forgiveness,
Especially the cuts of old.

A bold faithI ask:

One With open eyes

To Your Will and
Closed eyesTo my demons.

~Author Peter R. O'Brien~

Mark 9:14-29.
In this miracle, Jesus speaks to the boy's fatherand crowd saying: "...everything is possible toone who has faith."

It is this faith that is a bold faith.
