Acquire a Sustaining Faith

It feels great to be motivated and on target with our goals. Many of my articles have provided strategies for building success and sustaining personal motivation. Yet being successful also requires the faith to continue one's intended journey.We must be able to dissolve those tough spots with which life tries to stain our nice clean plans and dreams. Sometimes we simply need to get through the day with enough faith to face tomorrow. So how can we do that?.

The faith we seek, the power to maintain our strength and courage through any circumstance, a sustaining faith ultimately comes from our Creator. We can inherit and adopt many different beliefs, but faith is a divine gift.We can learn the best methods there are for achieving our goals.

We can study all the success techniques and motivational theories. These are very beneficial. Yet alone they will not sustain the kind of faith that many of life's storms will require.Sometimes life dishes out some really hard stuff. When it gets difficult, we will need to ask for help.

Asking for help is an act of strength, not weakness. We can go straight to the most powerful source of help we've got: our own Creator.He gave us some tremendous gifts to bring to the world. However, he didn't stop there. He also gave us a special kind of power to muster the hardships that he knew we'd have to learn from. That power is faith, and he will provide a steady supply if we ask for it.

No human-devised theory or strategy has ever matched His response.A sustaining faith is available everyday, twenty four hours a day. All we need to do is ask for it - again and again.Sustaining our faith will give us the assurance that we are never alone; we will always have a ready supply from the most supportive Friend we'll ever have. When He sustains our faith, that faith will sustain us through any situation.
