having faith on faith itself

undescribable. unexplainable. unseen. faith is believing or trusting on something or someone. well, thats what i think most people would think or as explained in dictionaries. but in general, faith usually is related to christianity. why? is it because faith is usually practiced and used in a christian walk? does other religion practices it as well? does other religion or other people believe in faith? and how would you describe faith to a non christian?

for other religion (shall not be specific in the religions here), their faith would probably be a different definition. mostly would belive in the what they see and what seems logical and explainable to them. or rather, they would believe in themselves cause thats the only thing that they definetely have faith in. crystals are some of the examples that some people believe or have faith in. believing that crystals would allow them to have good luck, getting the right person, excelling in studies.. and not doing anything about it. somehow, i think, not everyone would think about faith.

as a christian, we would explain faith as to what the bible believes it to be. knowing that we have the knowledge of the Word and of the knowledge of Christ, we know that faith is believing of thing that are unseen and eternal (2 cor 4:18). but frankly speaking, sometimes as a christian, our faith weary. how is it that we can faith on faith itself?

when the rubber hits the road, how can we prove to others what does faith means to us personally? are we able to still stand strong and act as if everything was beautiful? in our daily lives, we are already worrying about what will happen. well, probably not everyone but i know i do. everyday when i go to work, i think about what will my clients react today at work, what will my bosses be thinking about the company and my future in the company, what will happen when my colleagues complain so much that it reaches the managements, what has happened to my friends that i think are back-slidding, am i accountable to what happens to them? (yes, i think awfully alot of things) all these questions keep poundering to me. some are personals, some are general but all in all, do i have faith that God will take control of everything that i am dealing with? trusting in God is having in God that He knows what to do with all the mess that i go through but yet, i'm constantly thinking about the 'trash' that is filling my mind. its not easy letting go.

well, i guess need to 'be still and know that He is God'.
