This I believe-Faith
I believe that with faith anything is possible. As a child I grew up in a Christian house hold. In the bible, Hebrews 11:1 states that “Faith is the substance of all things hoped for the evidence of things unseen.” Faith also teaches me to trust others, but more importantly myself. When I have faith and I trust myself you know that I can do anything that you put my mind to.
Having faith has made me the person I am today. I know that with strong faith I can accomplish all my goals in life. It makes me believe in myself, even when nobody else does. As I begin to get older I understand more and more how much faith I need to make in today’s society. Faith does not have a size or a limit; so as I grow my faith grows. No matter what obstacle or trial may appear in my life, I know that with faith I can overcome them all.
The faith that I have is not only for earthly things but it is also very strong in God. I know for a fact that he sits high and looks low. He will always be there for me, even when my family and friends are not. My faith in God allows me to know that he is always by my side. Even though I may not physically see him my faith in God will never fade away.

There are plenty of times that I sit and think about giving up but I then I think about all the things that I have gone through. Life may not be easy but, because I have faith I know that I will get through it somehow. Faith is something that we all should live by, because with faith you can accomplish anything. So that is why I continue to keep the faith and stay strong.

    Survival By Yann Martel Analysis

    “You reach a point where you’re at the bottom of hell, yet you have your arms crossed and a smile on your face, and you feel you’re the luckiest person on earth. Why? Because at your feet you have a tiny dead fish” (Martel 217). Of course it is normal to feel as if it is better to just give up on life; everyone has been in a position where it is just too painful to keep going. However, the majority of the times these feelings stay as just a feeling, and people never take that extra step to actually give up. People who persevere through their pain understand that life should not be taken for granted. One must prove that he can withstand the difficulties that he might face throughout his life, then he shall be granted to continue his life, “Was there any reward greater that life?” (Martel…

    Upon The Burning Of Your House Analysis

    Our society can increase faith by giving people something to have faith in and hope for. If our society can can have such a strong faith in something as strong as the Puritans did, it would unite our nation as one. We would benefit from this because it would unify us together and create a common interest among people. It would help give people direction in their life and help them make better decisions. Faith would also give people hope in their life and motivate them to do better. I think faith is important in any society or individual person to give them the will to live life to its fullest and get the best from it. Personally, I would benefit from faith because it will better motivate me and give me something to work for. I also am unsure of my path in this world but faith could help me find my place in the world and discover myself. Faith could also help if I am having a hard time in life or with something it can give me hope and reassurance of how great life can be. I think faith is an important in any society and can change people’s perspective on…

    Short Story Faith Like A River

    Helen Keller once said, “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence”(brainyquotes.com). The level of faith that someone has can really show their true character and personality. This is shown in the story Peace Like A River by Leif Enger. This story is about a small rural family that is placed with an immense burden after the eldest son Davy kills two local boys and escapes prison. The Land family ventures out to find him and can rely on faith alone. Faith plays the role in the story of further developing the Land family’s personalities by showing the contrast between their belief and practicality.…

    Reprecussions

    With a church on just about every corner it is clear that faith is crucial in our society. Faith keeps our moral compasses pointing in the right direction and gives us something to believe in when all hope has vanished. It keeps us linked to one another in a monumental way, providing us a more socially responsible attitude. We as humans have faith that whatever “higher power” or “God” we believe in is watching out for us. There is a “plan” in everything we endure; nothing is…

    Faith Development Theory

    James Fowler’s theory of faith development is another theory that I found useful and directly in line with my own faith, beliefs, and desired line of work. Evans et al. (2010) claim that faith is shaped from unconscious structures with stages of faith development and that there is a distinction between content and structure. “Individuals at the same stage can hold beliefs that are vastly different (content) while their ways of thinking about and making sense of their beliefs (process) are similar. […] Some individuals never reach the more advanced stages” (p. 197). Fowler’s theory was quite evident during my emerging adult interviews and it was in the area of faith development where I heard the most diverse responses. “Is faith a significant…

    Young Goodman Brown Thematic Essay

    Throughout ones journey in life, our individual perceptions of faith in God, in mankind, and in ourselves, guide us along our path. In life our faith is what keeps us going. A person 's faith is not necessarily their religion, but can also be what they believe in or morals. Often times in life, events or people cause a person to lose faith in what they are doing or even in themselves. For example, a player on a football team goes into a game with their mind set on winning. During the game they lose the best player on the team on the first play of the game and the other team scores within seconds of the start of the game. Events like that during a game is enough to cause many players on the team to lose faith in themselves as well as the team. Our faith can also determine whether or not we overcome an obstacle in life. If a person believes strongly enough in what they are doing he will almost always come out of a situation victorious. In the Young Goodman Brown, his faith is tested throughout the story.…

    I continue to make goals for myself and continue to achieve my goals. I will carry forward striving for the best. I use to just give up but I realize that doesn’t make me any better. Some of the things I think about when I just want to give up is,“You have the patience, the strength and the passion to meet your ambitions your goals and your dreams. All you need to do now, is try.”also “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” I had to really think about what it really meant but now I…

    My Personal Faith

    My Personal Faith

    My faith has enabled me to handle life challenges from my past and present. Some of these challenges have been series of events that I could hardly believe were happening, while others came with great joy. At five years old, my younger brother, Chandler, died unexpectedly. This was a tough challenge for my whole family to face. This challenge could have easily torn my family apart but together, as a team with God, we worked hard at picking up the pieces and moving forward even when there were days that seemed to be impossible. In the fifth grade, I was diagnosed with a common learning disability known as Attention Deficit Disorder. I am faced with this challenge on a daily basis. I have learned to cope with this disorder over the years by making prayer and patience priorities in helping me conquer this challenge. This challenge was especially difficult during my SAT and ACT tests. Certain scores on these tests were required to get into college and play NCAA football. The stress and pressure of taking these tests felt unbearable at times. While studying and before and during each test, I would remind myself that, through God, all things are possible. With God by my side, I was able to achieve the scores needed to reach my college and athletic goals.…
