And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. 13When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.

May I have a faith so pure that I don’t question you on anything. May I place my entire life in your care. Give me a faith that can reach others and stand strong against this fallen world. May I here your gentle whisper in this loud world.
