Faith helps us grasp firmly truths that provide a sound foundation for daily living. Trust helps us withstand the downward pull of discouragement, despair. The hour or 'so we spend at worship during the week can make a deference in our daily life. Attend the church or synagogue of your choice. JOHN STAFFORD pains.
