3792 Will to believe.... Right prayer.... Works of love....

June 6, 1946: Book 48

All you children who are weak in faith, commend yourselves in the spirit of My grace.... when you pray, ask Me to strengthen your faith. And your prayer will be answered. For if you ask, it will be given to you, if you call upon Me in spirit and in truth, you will receive what you need spiritually and also what your body needs for its preservation. And your faith will be strengthened because you are willing to believe and manifest this through your prayer. And a strong faith will make you free and happy, earthly hardship will not oppress you to the same extent as the faithless, because the strength of faith will flow through you and make you resistant to all adversity. I strengthen a weak faith, I revive a dead faith, and I can awaken faith in a faithless person, yet your devotion to Me always has to come first, prayer has to rise up to Me or a thought that is deeply felt in the heart expresses the desire for true faith, then I will become active and give to the person according to his desire. And therefore everyone will be able to believe if only he is of serious will. He will be able to believe as soon as he lets his intellect and heart become active, as soon as he lets his feelings speak and does not simply listen to the expression of his intellect alone. If a person wants to believe, his heart will be moved by feelings, which he then should heed.... In a kind of weakness he will feel the need to lean to a strong Power, and he should follow this feeling, he should surrender to this Power Which he feels involuntarily, Which only wants to be acknowledged a little in order to take hold of the human being and never let him go. Yet the will has to emanate from the human being himself.... And the human being will become faithful with My help, his initially weak faith will be strengthened, it will come alive as soon as the person carries out works of love, for then he will find it easy to believe because he is already united with Me through love and can no longer reject Me.... Therefore, if you are weak in faith, carry out deeds of love.... increase your activity of love and your strength of faith will grow, for the strength of love is expressed in increased faith.... Awaken faith to life through works of love, and you will never again need to complain about weakness of faith, but your faith will become firm and unshakeable the more you fulfill My commandment of love.... And pray.... remain closely united with Me through prayer, through thoughts which are turned towards Me, so that I may take hold of you and never ever let you go.... Give your will and yourselves completely to Me, and I will consider you bodily and spiritually as it serves your soul....

Amen
