Don't put your faith in faith, put it in God

"Don't expect faith to clear things up for you. It is trust, not certainty." ~Flannery O'Connor

I think this is a mistake that many of us make all too often, we assume that because we're a believer, life will be smooth sailing. And when life gets rough, we blame ourselves for not having a strong enough faith. But faith isn't about knowing how things will turn out, knowing we're right, or having a grip on the situation. It's not even about uprooting those trees or moving those mountains. It is simply, trusting God no matter what.
