Faith will surely make us feel that our hopes are alive

Faith is an instrument of power that can unleash many great things in life. That is why we are told to have faith and be determined to win.

It is faith in your potential that can work wonders. I was reading, the other day, Preeti Shenoy’s Life is What You Make it. The main character, Ankita, for whom, initially, the whole world was at her feet because of her physical beauty, later gets into depression. Her doctor, full of faith not only in his own ability to treat Ankita but also in her power to get back to normalcy, does wonders. Ankita comes out of her depression all because her doctor and she had full conviction that if they believed in something , it will happen.

American writer Emmanuel Teney says, “As your faith is strengthen­ed, you will find there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, and that things will follow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.” Faith sustains hope, and when hope is sustained, you are a gainer, leading ultimately to big achievemen­ts that will make others proud of you. No need to say that nothing can be achieved without hope and faith.

Faith works like a lamp that brightens up life and gives vision at night. It inspires you and guides you when you see nothing but darkness all around. And that enables us to defeat all the odds we have to face in the long journey of life.

Therefore, we must convince ourselves that faith will surely make us feel that our hopes are very much alive and within reach.
