Sometimes I don't know how i can live without faith I know some people do. They are negative all the time but, me on the other hand I'm positive most of the time unless the situation is base on complete down fall lol.. Haha.. Now I'm a christain and I was told and learn that god works by faith. When you are having hard and rough times have faith looking for a job have faith. I was told that many many times and so there is not one day I don't really have much doughts and live life thinking that the next day will be better. Since I'm alive and things will get better not only for me but for everyone. Do you have faith? if yes (what do you get from it) ? If No (what do you get from it) ?

I lived by faith too. I have complete faith in my creator and saviour but I can't force others to follow suit. If I tell you what I went through life, probably you would congratulate me for staying positive and for continuing to have faith that something better will happen tomorrow. Among the saddest experience I went through is to lose my boyfriend (since I was 19) for almost 10 years in a car accident. We were planning our marriage already, then what? Some peole can take it, some not. Even if I eventually got married, there were a lot of sad stories in my life that happened between and after. But it would take too long to tell. But one thing I want to tell you is that sometimes, bad things happen in a roll and not a lot of people can deal with it.

I forgot to say that I have a band of supporters who walked through life with me and I am super grateful. Sometimes, when you're down and out, a comforting word can make you walk through life.

it depends on where you put your faith, some put it in money, some people in other people, but i am with you. I put my faith in God because He has never let me down.

I have faith. We all do as scripture says He gave everyone a measure of faith! It is important to put it in God though. I have been going through a very difficult time and it has tried my faith. Faith doesn't mean bad things won't happen it means He'll be there with me through whatever comes my way.

Alot of the way a person responds to you or lifes issues comes from how they were raised. If u were raised around alot of negativity they tend to become negative. Now as we get older its up to us decides whether or not the Faith is accurate or jus nonsense. There also things that people have been through that caused them to hardened there hearts towards others or certain situations. But I was always taught to love everybody and to have faith that things will work out. But I've also been through some things and that's another factor as well either sink or swim even wen going through alot it could be worse the world is laying in the power of the wicked one.

The only faith I have is what God gives me. Normally I am a cynical person and do not trust anyone except for my friends. I always think the worse will happen, but then I remember that God will turn that evil into good for my benefit. Now it does not mean that HE will make me suffer and for me to lose the house, be unable to get what I need, but that HE will make it so I will get better in ways that I never expected. For instance we are trying to sell the van and logically it is not a good van. It is over 10 years old, and no one will pay that much for it, so if someone will what we paid for it and what we put into it, that would be a surprise and would be God's help.

Oh I will just say that faith is one of a lot of spiritual dimensions which keeps you moving. It give you assurance that "all is well" and it energizes you whenever you lose hope. In good times it keeps me better & makes at least satisfactory the worse ones. Of course I have a lot of faith in GOD. It was seeded in me while I was a kid and then it was me who watered and gardened them. I am not a daily temple going guy but yaa at night while going to sleep I still thank GOD for making my ma day so beautiful. !CHEERS!

Hi payout, My faith is one of my most precious assets. Without itmy whole existence would be a waste. Even when my life is not perfect and even worse than that, I try to find the good purpose in the situation. For me, faith is believing in something or for something, even though it has not manifested. I try to keep a positive attitude and do all I can to better the situation, then I leave the rest to the devine fate. If someone is always negative about life's little tests (that is what our troubles are, tests), then they will very little positve results in their lives. Being negative is very unhealthy. Having faith doesn't mean that you will get exactly what you want and how you want it. No, for me it means that there is a "bright side" in every situations and it will workout in my favor. The sun is alway shinning somewhere.

We all need the foundation of faith in our lives. Without something to believe, we are lost. Faith can get us through any trial in our lives. i am happy to say that I do have faith and i lean on it every day.

I do have faith. I know God will never leave me. Sometimes things won't go the way I want it to but I'm not God. I don't really know what's best for my life. Sometimes I think I do like everyone else but I know God knows better than me. We have been in some rough situations and God has always gotten us through and made things 10 times better when it was over! =) I couldn't imagine my life without faith or God in it.

In most cases, I am sure god will never leave me. With faith, we will have more energy to overcome the difficulties and improve ourselves to a higher level. However, for many people, they may meet a situation where they have to do nothing but losing faith, which is a desperate condition. When facing such a bad situation, most people will keep slient and take no action to sole the problem at hand. At the same time, they may try finding the faith again and try their best to overcome all the difficulities at hand and enjoy a better life. This is just our life.
