THE DAWN OF FAITH

I prayed for faith, thinking that some day faith would come down and strike me like lightning.  But faith did not seem to come.  One day I read in the tenth chapter of Romans, "Now faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."  I had closed my Bible and prayed for faith.  After that, I opened my Bible and began to study, and faith has been growing ever since.
