not seeing, yet believing

I have a difficult time believing what I can’t see. Do you?
I often pray that God would keep me from sinning in this difficulty. The last thing I want is to be guilty of unbelief! So, in my musings about the wonder of IT all, I always ask God my questions.
I know God is real and reigns and will one day come again. I know He lives in me, and I have no doubt that one day I will live with Him in heaven. But still I wonder, and still I ask Him my questions, and because He is my Father, He answers me with His Word and a heartfelt assurance that His Word is true.

Jesus said to Thomas,
who refused to believe without seeing:
“Have you believed
because you have seen me?
Blessed are those who have not seen
and yet have believed.” 

John 20:29 ESV

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, 
the conviction of things not seen. 
Hebrews 11:1 ESV
