Faith Moves Mountains, Do you believe in that ?

Hello, it is right faith moves mountains. Faith on some one give us confidence and moral power. When I child is going with her/his parents, he/she have faith on their parents that they will help in problem. It will give them confidence. Beliefs and faith on God is not means that God will come to us to do our work. God help the peoples who held them self. God say do your duty.

Hi Kiran! You see faith alone can not move a mountain. You need to put some action. You need to perform with utmost dedication, devotion, sincerity and honesty to execute a task, else you won't succeed. It is said - "God helps those, who help themselves". Whatever I do, I do it with conviction and faith and many a times I succeed.

I see your point...faith in self & doing your best will take one far...my religion says to me the answers or solutions for my problems in life or in the Book & when I fail it is b/c I didn't follow one of the guidelines..

Hi kiran, I don't believe 'Faith moves mountains'. Devotion to God is good. But I don't think God helps the idle people. May be God like the worshipers. But definitely He(She) does not like the idle devotees. There is a saying "God helps those who help themselves" I believe this.

Faith doesn't move mountains. Real actions do. You can believe that you will have one day the power to, for example, create a big company, but just by thinking that you won't get a thing. You will reach your goal by studying, planning, investing, etc. It doesn't matter how much you believe you can do something if you're not really going to move a finger in order to get what you want.

i think it means that if we have faith in God nothing is impossible but we still have to do something for what we are asking to him. If God will not give what we are asking or what we wish to him he have a reason...

That's why I say, "Don't just pray for miracles, pray to be the miracle in someone's life".

You would have heard of the story where a man is about to drown and he keeps praying in a damaged boat. A rescue boat comes nearby thrice and whenever there is a call he says GOd will come to his rescue and declines the help.THis happens thrice ; finally when he is about to drown, he invokes God and asks Him why he deserted him. God replies that He had come to his rescue but the man had declined the offer. God wants us to make all efforts , make use of all opportunities and then do our work wihout expectations. It is true that faith can move mountains but this does not mean that one can twiddle one's own thumbs expecting some fruit to fall into his mouth. I do believe in making efforts Kiran but I also believe that while it is my duty to make efforts it is for GOd to do the rest. I know He will give me whatever He thinks fit and whenever He thinks fit ; this thought always maintains my peace. If some of my efforts do not yield fruit despite doing them well, it means GOd has ordained it that way. We must never lose faith in ourselves too because GOd Himself wants us to make efforts and this is not possible without faith in oneself.

I wish it is that simple, i just wait around for my faith to move the mountain so i can build an underground tunnel and lay the track for my high speed train project. I don't even have to plan, then hire workers to start digging and excavate my way around the mountain. I can just let my faith move that mountain, then lay down the foundation, hook up my track and all the necessary safety and warning system , then sit back relax, use my faith to place the mountain back to where it originally located. Volla ! My construction project is done. My faith had just move the mountain for me.

Of course...we need to do our part. Laundry can not clean itself as any person do not smile for no particular reason at all. It's a 2-way street which is useless unless you walk or drive through it. Things happen because we make them happen. We can not always hope for a miracle. We don't see God but we believe in Him cause of faith as we believe on the existence of the wind that touches our face. Enough said....i think i'm going to write a poem later. lol good post...thanks :)
