People have this idea that the more pious and devout I am, the more successful I am. Which is very dangerous. If you look at faith in that way, you're bound to fail at both - spiritually and in your career.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The more in harmony with yourself you are, the more joyful you are and the more faithful you are. Faith is not to disconnect you from reality - it connects you to reality.
To have faith doesn't mean you get any less frustrated when you don't do your best, but you know that it's not life and death. Take what you're given, and when you continue to work hard, you will see results. That will give you the confidence you need to keep going.
Religion is capable of driving people to such dangerous folly that faith seems to me to qualify as a kind of mental illness.
Success is related to faith. Faith comes first.
Belief is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.
Faith has a role to play in life. It is not related to success. It is the other way round. Success is related to faith. Faith comes first.
Atheists are pious people.
I don't think you ever really know what all you're doing, so you have to act on faith.
For me, faith is more about aspiration than complacency - the smug satisfaction that other people find distasteful.
The more I am in a position to be tried in faith with reference to my body, my family, my service for the Lord, my business, etc., the more shall I have opportunity of seeing God's help and deliverance; and every fresh instance, in which He helps and delivers me, will tend towards the increase of my faith.
