Faith and Beans

Faith and Beans

Audio Version   

I know when I'm out of Beans. I look in the cupboard and there are none. It's ok I can pop to the shop and get some. I can't look in the cupboard to check on how much faith I have though. I feel it. How do I replace it when it's not there though and why did I let it run out? Just nip to the shop and pick me up some faith will you love? That's not going to work. Then my absence of faith kicks in with fear. Oh what can I do? I feel vulnerable and hopeless. How will I get on next week and tomorrow and next year with no faith I ask?! That's It! I ask and I do something for somebody else. I stop and I know that I'm not God and I need help. I trust that if I can keep things simple this will pass and my faith will return. Cultivating an attitude of gratitude and humility keeps my faith levels safe. In you I have faith. I can't do this alone. God bless.
