Keeping The Faith
If there is one good thing that the super typhoon Haima brought to me—and other fellow non-prayerful men and women—it’s the faith. My belief that I am just human and means nothing in this world and could do nothing with the divine guidance.
My prayer is stronger than those previous days when there is no disaster or when I have no serious problem facing in this life. Before the storm, I don’t even have a serious prayer that it felt like just a chant. I have the faith but sometimes doubt was trying to seduce me. I don’t want it but because I have a good life and easy living I don’t have stronger hold to it.
Until the disaster came. That moment that I feel my faith was so strong again. I pray and it comes from my heart. That I am asking for the safety of my family and I really asked for the guidance. That moment that I am human again. That I need someone to guide and protect us because I know I am nothing.
When I saw my wife crying in fear because of heavy rain and strong winds that seem to shatter the house, I was the one keeping her to be strong. That she should not feel weak because our children are depending on us. That I said to her to pray for our safety.
We are just human. And sometimes human just ask from their hearts when they are in the heart of danger or disaster. Human cry their hearts out. They pray hard and asking forgiveness for the sins and mistakes they have done. Then at the end of the day they survived and feel the security of their life again. Then only few can whisper a little thank you.
What I have thankful from that disaster? It’s the truth that my faith brings back to my heart. The way it should be.###

Yes, faith plays an important role in human life but love, hope and faith all these are the children of human soul. And all the miracles on earth are the wonders of faith. Your article is beautiful and informative.
I totally agree that it is the faith which gives the power. This is the ultimate truth not confined to only one religion but almost all religions of the world.One need not have a religion but if he got faith he can drive himself safely out of the trouble. This is what one should know about the basic principle laying behind every religion.
This is a very heart felt post.Our level of faith and spirituality goes up and down. Sometimes when we are safe and comfortable, we forget our faith. When we are sick, in danger or facing some problem, we call out to God to help us and it is true that in trials we are closer to God.
@SuperD, we have to thank, rejoice and praise the Lord every minute in our lives not only during disaster.There are people who only remember God when at the crucial moment, so very sick, and in the midst of disaster.We are only human beings subject to commit mistakes, but God is a forgiving God.He always extends His helping had.God knows everything and He knows what is best for those who only believe on Him. That deadly storms need a strong faith to survive.We have to be thankful for the safety , for the rescuers, and the donations of the kind people. Amen.
When someone thinks it will be so in modern term is called faith. But we must know the real root of is trust if God and fear of God. Man is a wonderful thing, he hopes to be good keeping in mind God's mercilessness but what God says we do not act upon it what a beautiful thinking of earthly men.
Give me your ear and understand this example; if someone comes to see you at home and you say sit for a while the tea is coming but the order was not given to make tea, if you faith the will come it will not come because you have fulfilled the law of order. Keep milk, water and tea mixing a pot and when sit for a while tea is coming it will come because you completed the law of God It is faith cos you have completed the law of God to make tea.
we do not fulfilled the law of God and have faith is useless theoretically and practically. If we are thankful to God catastrophes will not come upon human being of any type. All types of natural evils are the sign of warning for human being to be thankful to God otherwise an other evil is ready for you.
But earthly men do not understand it and consider it natural calamities and destruction occurring according to the laws of nature. But it is not so as we think in real life. Read the whole holy books all types of natural catastrophes are warnings for men to avoid bad deeds against human beings and God'
Natural calamities are the punishment of God for men but men do not understand it knowingly. We must be thankful to God 24 hours because God's blessings are more on man.
