Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining; I believe in love even when I feel it not; I believe in God, even when he is silent. > Inscription on a WWII hideaway
I prayed for faith and thought that some day faith would come down and strike me like lightning. But faith did not seem to come. One day I read in the 10th chapter of Romans, “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” I had up to this time closed my Bible and prayed for faith. I now opened my Bible and began to study, and faith has been growing ever since. > Dwight L. Moody
The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting. Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the one who is leading. > Oswald Chambers
Never put a question mark where God has put a period. > John R. Rice
Never, never pin your own faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. There are lots of nice things you can do with the sand; but do not try and build a house on it. > C. S. Lewis
Faith is not believing that God can, but that God will! > Abraham Lincoln
Sometimes you’ve got to jump off cliffs and grow wings on the way down. > Ray Bradbury
Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation. > Elton Trueblood
Faith is not sure where you’re going but going anyway. A journey without maps. > Frederick Buechner
Faith is not an effort, a striving, a ceaseless seeking, as so many earnest souls suppose, but rather a letting go, an abandonment, an abiding rest in God that nothing, not even the soul’s shortcomings, can disturb. > Author Unknown
