FAITH IN A FAITHLESS WORLD

How is it that faith can be proven to be the answer, time and time again, but still be so difficult to incorporate into my day to day thought patterns?
I come from a world where Faith is considered to be a wasted thought. But as recent years have proven, there is a God! There is another world on the other side of our existence here on this planet. No doubt we must discover that for ourselves but once we do, how is it so easy to forget?
The world is all encompassing. The influences found in our day to day existence are certainly not faith builders. We are taught to believe in what we see. And although the beauty of nature is a reflection of our God and creator, science substitutes divine origin and we are left with a notion that all things are expected to be explained with mathematical formulas and theorems.
Faith is not science. Faith is the belief that there is an unimaginable power that oversees us. Faith is a lasting and reliable sense of our creators love for us. Faith is the belief in our ability to communicate with our Savior and Father in Heaven. Faith is the understanding of His ability to intervene in our daily affairs and the belief that He does. Faith is knowing that we were once in His company before coming to face the experiences of this mortal shell. And Faith is the confidence that we will return to Him after we more on from this existence.
When I apply Faith, it's more than just a belief. When I apply Faith, I see and feel His power surrounding me. When I apply Faith, I am more than just a man. I am a His son. Responsible for the future of those around me. When I apply Faith, I am complete.
Have Faith and apply it!
