Religion and faith bring an additional dimension to life that cannot be experienced through any other means.

It is like a light switch that can be flipped either ‘on’ or ‘off’ at any given moment. At any time of day, faith and religion can be embraced to provide comfort, strength, reassurance, and guidance.

When you turn it off, you don’t try to build relationships with a higher power or pray for a better future. You take a break from all the formalities of organized religion and instead focus on issues such as family, relationships, and the good in the world.

Religion and faith have the unique ability to bring the best of both worlds. Each can stand alone, but together they can become extremely powerful.

Religion and faith aren’t like an “either or” equation, but rather a toggle switch – offering support, solace, love, and understanding that can be hard to acquire without some sort of spiritual connection.

They provide us with perspective on life and its outcomes, a calmness, and balance when we are facing unforeseen challenges.

Religion and faith gives us the strength and courage to face our hardship without fear, and use our faith as a backbone to stand strong on even in difficult times.
