“Faith precedes the miracle. It has ever been

so and shall ever be. It was not raining when

Noah was commanded to build an ark. There

was no visible ram in the thicket when

Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac.

Two heavenly personages were not yet seen

when Joseph knelt and prayed. First came the

test of faith–and then the miracle. Remember

that faith and doubt cannot exist in the same

mind at the same time, for one will dispel the

other. Cast out doubt. Cultivate faith.”
