Further Reflections on Confessions and Statements of Faith References
The confessions of the church at times refer to the fact that child-like silence, resting and trusting, are all part of a believer’s walk with God. Our World Belongs to God, paragraph 35 testifies that believers are called to be “silent before the mystery of his love.” Belgic Confession, Article 13 testifies that “we do not wish to inquire with undue curiosity into what God does that surpasses human understanding and is beyond our ability to comprehend.”

our lives and our world seem so tangled and complicated.
Help us to desire nothing else but that you will always be present to us,
