How many times have we been told to SIMPLY have FAITH? Almost a "DUH" question, but do we really have faith? Faith means we have a never ending of hope which means we would have peace...but how?

The dictionary will define Faith as: 1. Complete trust or confidence in someone or something
2 Corinthians 5:7 - We live by faith not by sight or We walk by faith not by sight.

How many times have we trusted & had faith that the relationship was going to work out?  How about truly loving someone with all our hearts putting in our ALL into the relationship or situation to have it turned inside out and totally go bad?  How about praying, fervently, for a special someone who was diagnosed with cancer?  What about someone or even ourselves addicted to drugs, alcohol, gambling, pornography, sex, bulemia, abuse, computer games, food, exercise, depression, etc. - the list can go on.

Physically we're exhausted; Emotionally we're drained; Mentally we just can't think straight; The weight of feeling hopeless is too heavy; Escape is what we desire...

Where and how can FAITH even be considered in the midst of our difficult trials?

Job 30:27 - The churning inside me never stops, days of suffering confront me

Matthew 11:28-30 - "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

The Lord is telling us to have FAITH, and simply come to me.  How?  Find a place where you can be alone and just cry out to someone you can't see, but the Lord will be with you.  Be honest, be you, and in your moment of despair, TELL IT ALL & YELL IT ALL!  JUST DO IT!  Then medidate on your heart being mended, be still, breathe in goodness, exhale bitterness...

Believe it, you have just exercised the beginnings of having FAITH.
