There was a little card at the end of the prayer labyrinth. It said "I believe God is (blank) enough to handle (blank) in my life". The idea was that you filled it out and attached it to some netting the camp had put up. There were hundreds of cards already, from the weeks of camp before us. In that moment, I wasn't even sure which of a myriad of things I should write down. So I just took the card home. I have that card pinned to my cork board by my bed. It catches my eye now and again and it's still blank. See, I don't think I'll ever fill it in, because when I see it, I'm forced to examine myself. Do I believe God is big enough/strong enough/good enough etc. etc. to handle this thing in my life? Do I really believe that?
By leaving it blank, I can fill it in however best fits what I'm going through at that time. Believe me, it changes constantly. That little card represents a challenge to me. Do I believe? Sometimes, all I have are the words from Mark 9, "I believe! Help my unbelief!" In this world, I have plenty of opportunities to trust Him; plenty of opportunities that force me to my knees and into Him.
