  And give you what you believe He will give you.
   
  Nothing is accomplished without Faith. As we must have faith in ourselves and others to complete any task, so also we must have faith in God if we are to make spiritual progress.
   
  Faith is the first step that makes every step possible. Faith springs from self-understanding and enables us to recognize divinity in the world. Faith in God presents an array challenges to the newcomer .It frequently requires major changes in new believer's lifestyle.
   
  Knowledge arises from experience, but we must first act on faith. We must act to win the experience that rewards faith. It is not proper to demand proof of the existence of God, before any effort is expended. Spiritual progress is not merely intellectual exercise; It is right living, good conduct, moral behavior. These attitudes are the automatic consequence of belief in a just, compassionate God, who is watching and witnessing every act .So, faith - belief in an omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent God is the first prerequisite to a good life.
   
  Until faith is strong, it is best for us to remain silent. Firm faith is like a raging fire; it will consume the green wood of other's doubts .When faith is unshakable, we can aid others. Until that time, silence is the kindest friend of faith.
   
  "Faith can work wonders .It can compel the lord to manifest himself and give you what you believe he will give you".
   
  There can be no more worthy object of effort than realizing the omnipresence of God. Our faith grants us patience while we develop spiritual discrimination, which enables us to know what is real and of lasting value. The test of success in faith lies in our actions. When we act in accordance with high ideals, we earn God's Grace to progress further. Experience in spiritual endeavor confers knowledge; practice earns grace. Experience of the Lord's Grace grants the certainty of self-realization.
   
  Faith grants our true freedom. Holding fast to the divine will, we release our hold on fear and anxiety. God guides us through the maze of life. God's strength is the strength of our faith and courage. Our own divine self, the God within, grants success.
   
  Rely on the lord within and discover inexhaustible reinforcements of courage in each heart. The final victory is for those who have faith in the invincible atma, their reality.
   
  Whoever has the enthusiasm, the steadfastness, and the determination to reach the goal will certainly succeed. Cultivate that faith in ultimate success; never despair or fault or doubt. That is my advice to one and all.
