Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death.
I want people to just to see, all you got to do is have a little faith.
Don't be confused that my interest in religion, faith, and spirituality is driven by any sense of faith or spirituality of my own.
Each one of us needs time and space for recollection, meditation and calmness. . . . Thanks be to God that this is so! In fact, this need tells us that we are not made for work alone, but also to think, to reflect or even simply to follow with our minds and our hearts a tale, a story in which to immerse ourselves, in a certain sense to lose ourselves to find ourselves subsequently enriched.
It is not reason which makes faith hard, but life.
Suffering provides the gym equipment on which my faith can be exercised.
I am extremely spiritual. I've not gone into this before because it's personal, but faith is the core of my life.
Learning how to relive again on life's terms sure doesn't do much for your confidence. You have to kind of walk in faith that the next step is going to be just a little bit better than the last step.
If faith is your motivation, share that.
I discovered later, and I'm still discovering right up to this moment, that is it only by living completely in this world that one learns to have faith. By this-worldliness I mean living unreservedly in life's duties, problems, successes and failures. In so doing we throw ourselves completely into the arms of God, taking seriously, not our own sufferings, but those of God in the world. That, I think, is faith.
…for no matter how lost and soiled and worn-out wandering sons may be, mothers can forgive and forget every thing as they fold them into their fostering arms.

Liberals have a quaint and touching faith that truth is on their side and an even quainter faith that journalists are on the side of truth.
Faith is rarely where your head is at. Nor is it where your heart is at. Faith is where your ass is at!
If we had strength and faith enough to trust ourselves entirely to God; and follow Him simply wherever He should lead us, we should have no need of any great effort of mind to reach perfection.
O Jesus, come back into our society, our family life, our souls and reign there as our peaceful Sovereign. Enlighten with the splendor of faith and the charity of Your tender heart the souls of those who work for the good of the people, for Your poor. Impart to them Your own spirit, a spirit of discipline, order and gentleness, preserving the flame of enthusiasm ever alight in their hearts. . . May that day come very soon, when we shall see You restored to the center of civic life, borne on the shoulders of Your joyful people.
That state of mind in which a man is impressed with invisible things is faith.
If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.
Even as a tree has a single trunk, but many branches and leaves, there is one religion but any number of faiths.
knowledge, absolutely sure of its infallibility, is faith
The misfortunes which God is represented in the book of Job as allowing Satan to inflict on Job, merely to test his faith, are indications, if not of positive malevolence, at least of a suspicious and ruthless insecurity, which is characteristic more of a tyrant than of a wholly powerful and benevolent deity.
