BarbTherese Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 To live by Faith is to live joyfully, to live with assurance, untroubled by doubts and with complete confidence in all we have to do and suffer at each moment by the will of God. We must realize that it is in order to stimulate and sustain this faith that God allows the soul to be buffeted and swept away by the raging torrent of so much distress, so many troubles, so much embarrassment and weakness, and so many setbacks. For it is essential to have faith in God behind all this. The divine life is neither seen nor felt, but there is never a moment when it is not acting in an unknown but very sure manner.”- Jean-Pierre de Caussade: Abandonment to Divine Providence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Unsure if a storm is needed to prove faith, faith is proven by joy which is a deep seeded blessed assurance of heaven, not by outside influences. Peace is an inner pursuit not an outer condition. Than why is peace disturbed by outside influence, the answer is in the holy bible, it is caused by desire/expectation/a judgement of how things should or shouldn't be.
