Foolish and slow to believe

He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! (Luke 24:25)

Jesus, how often am I like those two disciples, foolish and slow to believe, not only the prophets, but you?

How often do I get down and discouraged because I’m foolish and slow to believe?

How often do I fail to see what you’re trying to do in my life and in the world around me because I’m foolish and slow to believe?

How often do I fail to trust you and make stupid decisions because I’m foolish and slow to believe?

Forgive me.

Jesus, open my eyes. Give me understanding. And may your words ever burn within my heart, giving me hope, life, peace, and joy.
