Frederick BuechnerLord, I believe; help my unbelief' is the best any of us can do really, but thank God it is enough.
About This Quote
The best we can do is to believe – to trust – God. That’s what I’m trying to do. I believe, Lord, that you are a good God who cares about me and about the world. I believe that you know what’s best for me and that you want me to be happy. You know that I don’t understand this now, but someday I will know it as my own truth, and then it will become my strength and power.
