 What is Faith and why do we need it?

Faith is an action word meaning that we have to something and then have trust in God. Do we believe that God is a God of promises? If we honestly believe then we will know that the promises that has made will be filled in his time table. Recently I have had to lean on my faith like no other as my husband who I was sealed to in the temple to decided that he wanted a divorce. I had been promised that I would soon be a mother and that I would be sealed to a worthy priesthood holder in the temple. Although now I don’t know when either will happen I know that as I have faith in my savior and live my life worthy these promises will be mine. Its honestly the only thing that brings comfort because right now I feel like my heart in breaking and my world is falling apart. My faith and trust in my savior is the only thing thats holding me together at this time of great trail. No matter the trial that you might be going through right now know that as you lean on your faith in the savior you will find miracles and blessings in your life that you never imagined. The gospel is a gospel of Faith. Do you have the faith to listen and head a prophet of God? Do you have Faith that when given a blessing that those promises will be filled in the lords time table? In the midst of a trail do you have Faith that the lord only brings things in your life that will help us in this life or in the next? Do you have Faith that God loves us and that we are his children? Do you have Faith in the scriptures that was written hundreds of years ago and that they still apply today? Do you have Faith in the word of Wisdom? Do you have Faith in the covenants that we make in the temple and that as we keep our covenants that we will find the courage to keep pressing forward? As you can see this Gospel is a Gospel of Faith. You have to have Faith in order to live this Gospel. The only people who have left this Gospel only left because they didnt have the Faith this Gospel requires. So if you want to know if this Gospel is true it starts with Faith, the Faith to ask. Before you do anything you have to have Faith in something and then follow it with works. Faith without works is dead. If your struggling with anything in this Gospel have Faith that its true, live it and I promise that as you continue to ask God you will come to understand the blessings that are yours as you keep and live the Gospel. The very thing that was hard will become easier to as you begin to understand the principle. This Gospel has never and never will be easy to live. The Gospel isnt meant to be easy its meant to stretch us and help us become Gods and Goddess. If we remember that we have power in the Gospel and that as we live the Gospel we wont only find happiness we will also become a God. As we keep our eyes on the mark we will find power that we never imagined possible. There’s power in the word “Faith” and i hope all will find that power!
