There is a reason why having faith is important. Whether it is in a religious belief or in yourself, having faith gives you a sense of confidence, belongingness, and conviction. Such faith can give you the resolve and strength to remain resilient in adversity. Research has also shown that having faith can positively affect physical and mental health.

When everything is going well it’s easy to have faith. It’s much more challenging when things are not going your way which may cause you to lose faith.
