Holding onto Faith

When events in life are concerning I call upon my faith. Faith is built upon, grows stronger, as we come out of these situations because we see that there is always a way to find peace and there is always a resolution. We have no control of outcomes. Yet, for me, focusing upon the fact that no living being has an event that has happened only to them helps me center myself. Death, happens to all, sickness happens to all, and having  unraveling feelings touches all of us at one time or another. Finding a way to help someone cope, praying or thinking positively,  helps me to create calm through chaos. Faith in something more after this life seems intrinsically true. When I am simply worn out I have often pictured laying my head on Jesus' lap and I imagine him stroking my hair, as one would a child who is upset. This brings me to a peaceful, coping place.
