Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real, even if we don't see it.

    It is by faith that Enoch was taken to heaven so he would not die.
    It was by faith that Noah heard Gods warnings about things he could not yet see.
    It was by faith that Abraham obeyed God's call to go to another place God promised to give  him.
    It was by faith Abraham, when God tested him offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice.
    It was by faith that the Israelites crossed the red sea as if it were dry land.

All these people in the bible pleased God. 
God says that the more HOPELESS your circumstances the more likely your SALVATION.

God help is near and always available but it is only to those who SEEK HIM.  Faith is the belief that God is real  and that God is good.  It's a choice to believe that the  one who made it ALL hasn't left it all and that he still sends LIGHT into the shadows and responds to gestures of Faith.

Lets all of us have faith in God and we will see Powerful things happening.

As parents we should have faith in our children and believe they can perform and all will be well.  God bless you.
