Faith Holds Strong When Trouble’s Near

When we experience the loss of a loved one, or grief of some kind, faith is the one thing that helps us stay grounded and keep our sense of purpose.

When one door closes another one truly does open. Sometimes it’s the birth of a baby, or the beginning of a new relationship, or simply a new venture, discovery, or opportunity. Whatever it is, faith will give us what we need to keep ‘plucking along’.

Faith enables us to find new things, to give us something to look forward to. It also offers us the opportunity to give back and contribute towards making humanity and our world a better place.

To just do nothing is a complete waste of time and we are merely taking up space for no reason. So, we must keep going, even though things may seem to be at a standstill. You may be going through depression or whatever it may be, but it could also be a golden opportunity.

Often, when there is a family crisis, for example, emotions get charged and people sometimes will say things they later regret. Angry people too often take unnecessary risks, instead of waiting until the storm is over.

My advice is to not waste time and energy on arguments or disagreements. Just hold on to your point of view and add a dash of patience. Try to always be in complete control of your emotions and see things as they really are.

Know that through faith and prayer, whatever situation you are going through, the situation will eventually right itself. Ask and you shall receive; knock and the door will be opened. As it says in the Bible, know that whatever it is that happens to you in life, especially when it comes to the loss of a loved one, you will get the guidance you need through prayer.

Taking things into your own hands and being impatient, and doing and saying things you probably shouldn’t, will only make it worse, or possibly even ruin everything. Meditation or prayer is key and having faith that a small part of the great unknown will hear you. All will be well in the end.
