WORD TO THE WISE #20: Faith

Faith


My relationship with God has helped me avoid problems others have run into. - Barry Sanders


Most of us believe in a higher power, whether God, Allah, or a guiding spirit within. Faith in that higher power can help us to make the right decisions in our lives. Sometimes we stumble, but if we have faith, we can believe that things will work out for the best.


Even when adversity hits us, faith can buoy us up and carry us along to something better. We are born to succeed and flourish, to do our best, to make the right choices, and to reflect the goodness that is divine.


On this day, I will take five minutes to remember that God (or the guiding spirit within me) wants me to succeed in my endeavors, and is at all times making opportunities available to me to help me in my life.
