We are all born with faith. It is neither acquired nor taught, it is our most natural state. A young child, for instance, just has natural faith.
Many people don’t see faith as a basic human faculty, they see it more as the absence of reason. Others are even more cynical, claiming that faith is a sign of weakness, something to resort to when all else fails.
In earlier times, this thinking goes, faith was a necessity because man didn’t have science to help explain the laws of nature; but in the face of reason and all of man’s brilliant accomplishments, we have outgrown our need for faith.
We cannot allow our reason to drown out the inner voice that tells us what we know to be true with every fiber in our being. We must learn to cultivate our natural faith. For some, the first step in the search for faith might be to assure yourself that you are indeed ready to listen and grow, that you are willing to accept the responsibility of faith.
True faith does not waiver, even if things do not work out as we would have liked. There are some very important reasons why you need faith in your life.
Although we all worship differently, there are some benefits that are reaped universally, regardless of your denomination and type of worship.
These benefits are so important and helpful in our lives.Faith gives life meaning and that is one of the reasons why you need faith in your life. Without our faith, what point is there to life? Faith is the core of who we are and our entire belief system.
[FAITH OFFERS HEALING BENEFITS]
It has been proven time and time again that those who have a strong faith often have a higher chance of healing and survival of serious diseases.
Faith also helps to shorten sicknesses and prevent such severity during the time of illness.
It is thought that a person’s individual faith has a strong effect on their healing.
It is also thought that the prayers of others that love and care about the person who is sick make a difference in your healing.
[FAITH OFFERS STRONG FRIENDSHIPS]
Faith offers strong friendship bonds to you. Not only do you get close to those that you attend services with, but you have so much more in common to base a friendship on.
You can share studies on your faith and talk about deep, theological things that you can’t with friends who don’t share your faith. It is also a blessing to know you can call a friend and ask them to pray for you when you are struggling.
[FAITH CAN BRING YOU PEACE]
Faith can certainly bring you peace. I know that in my life, nothing gives me peace like my faith does.
You can look back and see how your faith has brought you through difficult times in the past.
Having trust in a higher power allows you to know that your life is in good hands.
[FAITH CAN MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON]
Most people would agree that faith makes you a better person. Regardless of the denomination of services that you attend, almost all denominations support and encourage becoming a better person.
Most types of faith encourage kindness, caring, loving others and doing good deeds for others.
[FAITH MOVES MOUNTAINS]
Many people who have a faith can attest that they have seen things happen they would have never dreamed could happen. They credit that all to their faith and their faith in a higher power.
It could be that they have seen someone healed, that they have seen obstacles work out in their personal life or a number of different things. Things that seem insurmountable are not when you have faith in your life.
[FAITH GIVES YOU SUPPORT]
Faith lends you support when you are dealing with a difficult situation in your life. Not only do you have your friends that share your faith supporting you, but you simply feel supported by your faith itself.
You can trust that your faith will bring you through difficult times and that better times will come.
Many times your faith will teach you some valuable life lessons along the way. You can then share those life lessons with others you know and love and help them along their way.
