Faith

Having faith in something that you are uncertain about is tough. Faith is trusting about something or someone, and

trusting is not easy, I suppose. Faith can be a strong aspect that can shape your family. Personally, my family has a strong faith

in God, although we have different beliefs about it, we are faithful in our own ways. Faith can be a strong foundation that

strengthens the family and I believe in it because I have experienced it. There will be a noticeable change if we will apply faith

in the different aspects of our lives, that will affect your everyday life. For an instance, in a Relationship, one can be loyal but

can’t be faithful. As you can see, faith has been a big part in our lives. If we are genuinely faithful about something, there will

be also a great result in our life.

My family has been Religiously faithful since then, although we have different beliefs in religion. My Grandmother is

a devoted Christian and it influenced the rest of my family except me. I am a devoted Christian back when my faith was shaken.

Back then I am a devoted Christian, I do all the things of what most of the Christians do, I have a strong faith to the God and I

pray to him every single time, I prayed more than three times a day. It was that day when I felt so depressed, unhappy about

everything and I feel like no one is listening to me, I prayed to Him every day because I feel like He can be the one to help me,

but as day passed, I don’t feel like He’s even listening to me, and nothing is happening even if I will pray for a million times.

My faith is shaken until one of my friend who is an atheist shares her thoughts about Him, it was at that moment I knew and I

realized I have been fooling myself for a long time. I am raging in anger and I don’t know why. I asked my Grandmother and

shared my thoughts about God, and told her I am not believing in hum anymore. I knew that they will oppose against my stand

and they will disagree about my thoughts. When they found out about it, they have not been talking to me like the way they

used to, and I know that they are disappointed because I grew up in a religious family but I turned out not to be one. My

relationship with them has been vague and since that day we argued a lot about everything. Until one day my Grandmother

talked to me and I thought she was going to scold me but instead she speaks to me calmly and told me she has thought about it

and accepted that each of us has different beliefs and faith. I was relieved and my chest felt light.

Since that day my relationship with my family is getting better because they have accepted what I believe about. You

know, having faith in something is not easy but if you are genuine about it then you can make everything happen. First you

should have faith in yourself first. It is not easy at first but you will find it easy because faith grows. In my family they have a

trouble having faith in me that I could do better without having faith in religion. Because they think my life will be ruined if I

will not believe in something they believe. But as time goes by, faith brings the enlightenment in our family. We learned to

trust each other without doubts, having faith in our different ways. Faith is also coexistent with truth. I have met many people
that has a strong faith in God but their actions are different of what they are saying about having faith in their God. That is also

one of the reasons why my faith is shaken. Faith is a strong feeling, if you have faith that you can do everything as long as you

will try, your mindset will automatically function that you can do everything. Faith is the key.

I also believe that without faith you can’t do everything. Faith is essential, and the utmost important thing in our lives.

Although I do not believe that God exist, I think for Christians having faith in God is one of the most significant thing. Having

faith is not about having faith in God but you can also apply it in different aspects in life. For me, faith has played a big role in

my life because it has been the aspect that brings my family together and shapes our family.

“Walk by faith not by sight, means that you should walk with courage even though you can’t see it. Faith has

strengthened my family and shapes my family not to what I expected.
