God our Father has made all things depend on faith so that whoever has faith will have everything, and whoever does not have faith will have nothing.

Martin Luther

It is impossible for faith to overdraw its account in the bank of heaven.

‘To me, faith is not just a noun, but a verb’

Jimmy Carter, former President of the United States

People who have no faith in themselves, seldom have faith in others.

Faith hears the inaudible,
sees the invisible
believes the incredible
and receives the impossible.

The mighty Niagara River plummets some 180 feet at the American and Horseshoe Falls. Before the falls, there are violent, turbulent rapids. Farther upstream, however, where the river’s current flows more gently, boats are able to navigate. Just before the Welland River empties into the Niagara, a pedestrian walkway spans the river. Posted on this bridge’s pylons is a warning sign for all boaters: “Do you have an anchor?” followed by, “Do you know how to use it?” Faith, like an anchor, is something we need to have and use to avoid spiritual cataclysm.

It has been said that only man comprehends what he cannot see and believes what he cannot comprehend. Much of what we comprehend we cannot see: atoms, germs, love, hate, loyalty, sacrifice. He who lives by sight lives poorly indeed. Faith is learning to live by insight rather than by sight.

Robert C. Shannon

Faith is not the way around pain, it is the way through pain.

Wit & Wisdom for Life’s Journey, M Yaconelli, p22

Faith is the awareness of utter helplessness without God.

Faith turns the commands of God into promises
