FAITH AND HOPE

When it comes to faith and hope I believe I have lots of it. I believe in God and am not ashamed to say so. I pray to myself daily for guidance, strength, and for my little piece of the world to be better. For me it really gets me through the good and the tough times. I know that no matter how bad things may get I have the faith and hope that everything is going to be okay. Some people may accuse me of not being realistic or that I am living in a dream world but I see it as the power of believing that things happen for a reason and if you have faith and hope you will prevail in the end.

One thing I can’t stand is when people are negative and all they see is doom and gloom. They walk around carrying heavy burdens on their shoulders and feel they have nowhere to turn for help but the sad part is they really do and they don’t realize this. No matter if you believe in God or not, pray! Pray to whomever you believe in and release those burdens, ask for help or guidance but most of all have faith, have hope. Don’t ever think for one minute you are alone or that no one cares because if you have faith and hope then you are never alone. The most important thing to remember is not to give up and to stop feeding into the negative. The saying goes if you say it enough then it will become true, so start thinking positive and then positive things will happen, that is just the rule of nature.

Today our society is a complete mess with hatred, no values or morals and high crime rates. Why, because as a society we have forgotten about God and the teachings of the bible. We have the politically correct wanting God out of everything because they feel it is offensive. To me I find it offensive that they want to strip people of having faith and hope. I find it offensive they won’t let a child pray in school or that they want God taken out of the pledge of allegiance. Our society is a mess without God and that is what is wrong with people today without religious teaching, depending on which God you believe in, there is complete chaos. I feel as a society we should turn on the politically correct and say the hell with them because obviously their way is not working and God’s way has and will always work.

I am not the type to cram religion down anyone’s throat but I do believe that everyone needs to believe in some kind of higher power or at least have faith or hope in some kind of higher power. I believe it really does bring the good out of humans when they feel as though there is a higher power to answer too. I also believe that prayer can be very powerful when you believe but prayer does not work if you don’t believe or have faith. Our nation needs hope and as a society we need faith but what we really need is God brought back into the light and through that only then will our nation’s sickness be cured. We need to believe!
