We all have faith in one thing or another; we believe that the bus driver will take us to our destination even though he has not shown us his driving licence; we believe that that man is our dad even though we do not have the scientific results of a DNA test! And some of us believe in God. However, our faith in God needs to be strengthened in order for it to endure the scientific whims of our times. We believe in a God who does not have an email address or a phone number and yet we expect very prompt responses to our prayers. We cook our food using microwaves – everything is done at a supersonic speed. Consequently, we have become an impatient humanity, at least unconsciously! We have become impatient with ourselves, with our neighbours, and with God, and our impatience has in one way or another impacted on our faith. Thus, instead of asking the Lord to increase our faith, shouldn’t we be asking Him to ‘reduce our impatience’?
