FAITH. Books have been written about it. Songs have been sung. Studies have been created about it. But FAITH is not a thing. It's a feeling. A heartsong that pulls at you to keep going when nothing else gives you a reason to.
If you work on your faith and really strive to develop a belief that things WILL work out, then your prayers and your thoughts and your hopes will all come true. They may not come true the way you want or in the time you want, but God will answer. Faith is not a wish to get what you WANT. Faith is simply a means for God to provide you with what you NEED. Faith will open doors and close the ones in the past that are hindering you, holding you back, or causing you to fail.
Courage goes hand in hand with faith to help you have the strength to walk through that open door. The belief that something better waits on the other side. Don't you wonder how many blessings and missed opportunities you have tossed aside simply because you did not have the faith to walk through that open door?
There in no reason to faith. Faith just IS. You either have it and believe in it and use it. Or you simply stumble through life making decisions randomly in hopes of finding things to make you happy without even knowing what you are looking for. While grabbing for that brass ring, you might over look the drab little rock that will lead you down the road to more joy and blessings than anything you have ever known.
Don't let fear hold you back. Go through that door when it opens and trust in God. Your faith will get you through it and you can find what's on the other side.
