commiserate with us. Faith is not something that is backed up with hard evidence. It is an assumption we follow and trust is true, despite the lack of physical proof. Faith needs no empirical proof. It is a belief system that is founded in trust. Through worship, people feel a connection to God and their place within the universe. By following His plan and listening to his advice, people have a guidebook they can follow that makes the nonsensical make sense. Even seemingly awful events can serve a greater purpose when you surrender to the idea that God has a plan and we are all a part of it. There are many passages in the Bible that one can turn to for comfort, especially when times are scary and the future is uncertain. If you are already familiar with passages, sometimes it can be comforting to return to familiar ones to read again. This era is an unprecedented time for all the citizens of Earth. We have barely been able to come up for air between the di erent challenges that we have been given. It is a test to our faith that we stay strong. When/if the next challenging wave hits, we will have our faith to keep us strong and face it together. The power of belief is stronger when backed by many.
