Jesus told him “…Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

John 20:29 NIV

Loving God, we reflect – as Thomas encountered the risen Jesus he exclaimed “my Lord and my God.”  Jesus replied “because you have seen me you have believed.  Blessed are those who have not seen yet have believed.”

Loving God, thank you that we can come to You, openly and honestly with our doubts and our questions. We cannot hide them from You, for You know them already. We take a moment to speak with You now about anything on our hearts…..

Loving, living God, You are our true hope, our joy, the One who brings meaning, purpose and peace. You lead us out of darkness into your marvellous light* and we praise You.  Bless and increase our faith.  Grant us peace, wisdom and understanding.  May we trust You with any questions that have not yet been answered.  May your Holy Spirit reveal Jesus afresh to us, so that we too may exclaim “my Lord and my God.”
