Credo Prayer 
For it is with you heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess your faith and are saved (Romans 10:10) .
A Personal Credo 
I believe... 
What do I believe about myself? 
What do I believe about those I love? 
What do I believe about education? 
What do I believe about my peers? 
What do I believe about God? 
What do I believe I am called to be? 

Form your answers to these questions, then place them before God in prayer. 
Name where you need God's assistance to put your belief into practice. 
Keep your personal creed and revisit it, listening to what God is saying to you.
