I BELIEVE IN GOD   Abram put his faith in the Lord, who credited it to him as an act of righteousness. – Genesis 15:6   One of the first prayers taught to us when we were kids was the Apostle’s Creed. “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord….” This has been one of our regular prayers until now. But do we really mean what we say? Oftentimes, we doubt God’s omnipotent power, no matter how many times we’ve been told to just go ahead and trust in Him. We have our misgivings, especially when we encounter situations which to us seem hopeless and impossible to solve. We bombard God with our prayers, but do we really believe? Just like Abraham, there will be different magnitude of problems that would make us worry, despite the assurance that God will never abandon nor forsake us. Amidst all these seemingly insurmountable trials, let us believe in God, the Father Almighty. He will always make a way. He is the Way. Dr. Henry Yu (henrio_md@yahoo.com)   Reflection: The same God whom we used to believe in when we were kids is here today. He is the same God yesterday, today and tomorrow. He cares for us. His love is everlasting and knows no end.   Father, remind us always to believe and trust in You with all our hearts and minds — to never doubt, no matter how rough the roads are and how hard life becomes.   Blessed Luke Belludi, pray for us.
