Quote

Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life.

The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when God has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt.

Know why you believe, understand what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you.

If you wish to strengthen your confidence in God still more, often recall the loving way in which He has acted toward you, and how mercifully He has tried to bring you out of your sinful life, to break your attachment to the things of earth and draw you to His love.

When we step out in faith and use the talents He's given us, we show that we trust God, that we believe He will bless our actions and cause us to succeed.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.

Faith in God is the gift that takes us beyond our limited self, with all its incessant demands. It opens us to a life that stretches us, enlightens us, and often springs surprises upon us. Such faith, like love, sees that which is invisible and lives by it.

When you use your faith, it gives you energy. It gives you the ability to be able to see beyond where you are right now and see into the future.

When the faith is strong enough, it is sufficient just to be. It's a journey towards simplicity, towards quietness, towards a kind of joy that is not in time. It's a journey that has taken us from primary identification with our body and our psyche, on to an identification with God, and ultimately beyond identification.

Religion gives you a sense of certainty. It makes you feel that you have the right answers to really big questions and that you've grasped the truth.
