Understanding Jesus, you met Thomas in his doubt, not with condemnation, but with wounded hands and an open side. We confess, like Thomas, we often struggle to believe without seeing, seeking tangible proof in a world full of shadows. When we are overwhelmed by fear or uncertainty, remind us that your wounds are the mark of a love that death could not destroy. Help us, with Thomas, to move from doubt to adoration, and to boldly declare, My Lord and my God! Through your Holy Spirit, strengthen us to be your body in the world, bringing your healing touch to a broken creation. Amen!

"What Does the Lord Require" (no. 441 in The United Methodist Hymnal) is perhaps the best-known hymn of Albert Frederick Bayly. It is based on the familiar scripture passage of Micah 6:6-8.

“What does the Lord require for praise and offering?
What does the Lord require for blessing and peace?”

In its questioning, the hymn reminds us that faith is lived not only in words or worship, but in action.

💭 How is God inviting you to live out justice, kindness, or humility this week?
