Recently I had had troubles regarding my faith and what faith really was. A few weeks ago, I saw the poor sight of a dead white cat that someone must have recently hit with a car. Along with the motionless cat were two other white cats that were just lying with the dead cat as if mourning the loss or unaware of its fate. The sight deeply moved and disturbed me until I found myself mechanically asking God to watch over the cat as I had previously done for my whole life. That thought that the cat was going to be watched over immediately relaxed me and my somber mood was lessened. It was in this transition that I figured out what faith really is. People rely on faith for comfort. Comfort from the thought that they are being cared for and that everything will be all right. Without faith, humankind is very scared about the uncertain. With faith in a higher power, no matter what the higher power, people are able to get on with their lives. It is from this reasoning, that I believe that a person should have faith in something rather than nothing.
Please respond for I am still confused about my faith.
