What is Faith? There are multiple ways one can use the word Faith.

Life isn't always what it seems because at the end of every day and the beginning of every morning you have no idea what might happen, which in turn is why someone should never give up and always have Faith. But what does
Faith really mean? Is there even a special definition for it? Each and every individual is going to have their own answer to this question. It can differ so much considering all of the different cultures, social status’, Religious beliefs and just the way they were brought up in general. Although everyone’s answer would be different, in the end it all leads in the same direction. When you look
“Faith” up in the dictionary it states the definition as "belief in something for which there is no proof and complete trust." Although, everyone's definition may be worded differently than what is says in the dictionary, it all ties in with the word “Belief”
My own take on Faith is probably like most others. I define Faith as believing in something. You cannot believe in something without having Faith

that it will all turn out the way it is supposed to. Many people that I have talked to about this seem to think that faith is something only religious people can have. That is completely false in my opinion. In order to function day to day I feel as if you need faith to get through all of the tough things that are thrown at you. I haven’t been very religious up until these last couple years of my life, and I can see a huge difference in the way that I think now versus back then. I have so much more positivity in my life now that I “Believe” in the fact that having Faith can only lead you to better things. If someone does not have
Faith, they seem to be the people who bad luck follows and only have negativity in their lives.
To find out for myself how people view Faith, I asked around to multiple people about their stance on the subject. I asked a

    Have you ever been tempted to do something that seemed fishy? Dora Alonso, the author of “Sophie and the Angel,” developed a story about an old lady who because of her loneliness and religion goes through a test of faith. Sophie was an old lady, she was lonely, and she was sexually repressed. This leads her to start to have hallucinations about an angel. We can assume the angel is an evil spirit, someone like the devil.

    As I was watching the Frontline Video, Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero, I was immediately faced with the question about evil. It is hard to imagine how someone could do something so horrific in the name of religion. So many lives were forever changed during the events that transpired on Tuesday morning, Sept. 11, 2001. As a believer of God, I could certainly identify with the feelings of the people who lost loved ones during the 9/11 tragedy.…

    There is not one person out there that does not have a belief. If you accept it and you feel that it as the truth or if it exists then I belief it’s a belief. One of my many believes now is “Everything will turn out all right”. Every bad story has a happy ending, well that’s the way I see it now. Shortly after graduating high school, I began working at a hospital and I worked there for a few years, but soon things began to change as we got a new manager, people began to leave, new people came on board and shortly they began to let people go because of budget cuts. I didn’t think much about it until I was let go suddenly. At the moment I was speechless that so many thoughts were running through my head that I just walked out without saying a word.…

    Sometimes life can have its ups and downs but it’s all for a purpose. This crazy rollercoaster is a part of life and it’s just a ride until we get to where we need to be.

Every up and down is for a reason so we shouldn’t give up so easily when things start to get hard. With every bad comes something good and we should all have a positive outlook on life and its twist and turns.…

    My Personal Faith

    My faith has enabled me to handle life challenges from my past and present. Some of these challenges have been series of events that I could hardly believe were happening, while others came with great joy. At five years old, my younger brother, Chandler, died unexpectedly. This was a tough challenge for my whole family to face. This challenge could have easily torn my family apart but together, as a team with God, we worked hard at picking up the pieces and moving forward even when there were days that seemed to be impossible. In the fifth grade, I was diagnosed with a common learning disability known as Attention Deficit Disorder. I am faced with this challenge on a daily basis. I have learned to cope with this disorder over the years by making prayer and patience priorities in helping me conquer this challenge. This challenge was especially difficult during my SAT and ACT tests. Certain scores on these tests were required to get into college and play NCAA football. The stress and pressure of taking these tests felt unbearable at times. While studying and before and during each test, I would remind myself that, through God, all things are possible. With God by my side, I was able to achieve the scores needed to reach my college and athletic goals.…
