So, why is faith so important to life? Faith is important because faith frames who we are, our existence, our values, our hopes, and our dreams. Faith is the quiet calm before a storm. Faith is the anchor in a storm. There is a misconception that faith is all about winning. 

Faith isn’t contingent upon a win, instead, faith positions us to have peace regardless of the outcome. Faith revolves around our life experiences, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Faith is not a magic wand, but rather it is a way to kick start your brain, from the spirit up. You believe in your heart that you are going to make something happen, you commit in your brain to take the steps and then you work with your body to execute those steps. Each step leads you closer and closer to the actualized goal. This is faith at work in real life success. According to a quote by Ellen G. White, she says, “The great moral powers of the soul are faith, hope, and love.” This would suggest that faith acts as a barometer for navigating life’s unknowns. In the words of Forrest Gump, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.”
