What does it take to find faith? You can call it prayer, or you can say you meditate. Still, the fact remains that if you try to reach some kind of higher being, which to me would be God, it means that you have at least an ounce of faith. It takes faith to pray. Otherwise, why would you bother? We all intuitively know that there is something more out there some where, with the power to answer prayers. The key is in developing a stronger faith through the belief that what we ask to receive, through faith, will be given to you by that higher and powerful being.

Even science proves there's a universal force that reacts to what we think, say, pray for and do. We are like magnets which attract people, things and happenings based upon our negative or positive view. Whatever you believe becomes your reality, because thoughts become things. It's what we human beings do. We create things. It's a fact of truth that can't be denied, even if you don't believe in a personal God who loves you and delights in giving you everything you need and then some. No one argues with the law of gravity. We know it's true that what goes up must come down, but the law of attraction is just as true. It's a rule and a tool God gave us to use.

The question to ask is how do our thoughts become things? Just think. Look around your town or even just your house and try to find one thing around that was not created by something or someone. The car in the driveway was once a thought in someone's mind long before it arrived. Your house and everything in it required the same thinking, along with the belief that the thought could become a reality. The grass and trees in your yard grew from seeds created by something.

Einstein called it the law of relativity, and he was actually able to prove that the universe had a beginning. The fact that the universe expanded meant to him that it had to begin at some point in time by a source of the force which created heaven, earth, everything within the universe and mankind. What else could the source of that force be, but God the highest source, of course? Even so and although Einstein proved the existence of a creator, since he did not believe in a personal higher being, he died obsessed with finding something he could never get. That's why faith requires that we believe in something we can't prove, but know deep within our soul, it's true. Einstein knew it too, but he refused to believe that if he couldn't put it into a mathematical equation, there would be
