Meditate:
Believing in existence of God has what implications for the way I live? Meditate on the attributes of the Divine Nature, ask yourself: How does the nature of God affect my understanding of the world, of my circumstances, of myself? Knowing that God is so much greater than I could ever think or imagine, what will it be like to actually see Him in heaven "face to face"?

Pray:
God, though I don't see you, you see me. Though I do not know you, you know me even more than I know myself. Help me to believe and trust that your existence means that there is no one else who knows me more and still loves me. Amen.

Imitate:
St. Thomas the Apostle

Apply:
In what ways can I help others believe that God exists and help those who struggle with doubt?

O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?" "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?" For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory for ever. Amen.
