Many a times we are faced with so many challenges, uncertainties about life, failures and fears. It is okay to be faced with these uncertainties about life, but one thing that should keep you going is your faith in God
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of the things unseen. - Hebrews 11:1
Often times, we give up too easily on ourselves and on life. Forgetting that Jesus Christ is able to solve all of our problems, only if we call on Him and have the faith that He will answer us. In the Bible, we are told of a woman who bled for 12 years without any cure. In the scripture, the woman did not give up on herself but rather said to herself, “If only I could touch the hem of His garment, I would be made whole again.” This is Faith!
The biggest storm we face in life is Fear; the fear of the Unknown. But you do not have to look at circumstances. You have to look to Jesus. While fear is looking at the storm, faith is looking at the saviour Jesus Christ. Fear is when you look at your unfortunate circumstances and faith is when you look up to God. You need to believe in the power of God.
And He arose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was great calm. - Mark 4:39
God really exists and He is more powerful than we can imagine. We need to keep trusting Him. Let us all revive our faith in Jesus and whatever we hope for, He will surely hear and answer us. No matter your circumstances, keep praying, keep hoping, keep trusting and always keep the Faith.
