Prayer in Great Weakness of Faith

A prayer from the Lutheran Treasury’s historical collection.

Historical edition. Historical claims and instructions are preserved as historical context.

O LORD, I now realize in very truth that not every man hath faith. I believe, O Lord, but help my unbelief! Do not break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax. O Jesus Christ, Thou who sittest at the right hand of God make intercession for me that my faith fail not. Be the author and finisher of my faith, that I may be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Though I see not, let me yet believe and thus be saved. Amen.
