Day 56
“Keep on Believing, God will answer your prayers” MaryLee Schultz 

As many of you who are following my blog know I gathered inspirational quotes, songs, sayings before leaving for my camino and trip. I wanted to use these as a springboard for my blog. Many people contributed and I am grateful. 

Today’s quote comes from a dear friend and a church member. They have said it in their family for years, during tough times, illness, grief, pain, difficult decisions. Their faith encourages them and enables them to say with confidence: “Keep on Believing, God will answer your prayers”. 

There are times that I have encountered people and the conversation has inevitably moved to God and my faith. And the person will finally say “oh I wish I could believe that.” Honest confession: the struggle for me with prayer is that it is a conversation…it is not just a list, a wish list of things I want from the divine but a listening as well from the divine for me…and as humans we are very good at talking but terrible at listening especially when it comes to a relationship with the divine. If we are ever to truly “Keep on Believing, God will answer our prayers” we have to walk the long road of faith, and engage in the conversation and that means listening more and more and more, and then I truly believe we won’t be disappointed. 

Buen Camino
