"...you have to believe it first. Not wait until you see it first, then touch it, then believe it...You have to say it from the heart."
--Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA

We are designed to function from faith. First we pray. Then we use our imagination to create a vision or picture in our mind. We surround this mental picture with our emotions or feelings. These feelings are available when we ask or say it from the heart. The combination of the mental picture and asking from the heart to create the emotions will cause us to believe it. Then we just need to wait. We need to believe as though it is already done.

Great Spirit, remove from me any doubt that comes up today.

I have faith - that tomorrow the sun will come up, because it's reasonable to believe so.

I have faith I can bring about positive change, if I see a situation I wish was influenced I believe I have to use my mind to understand how it can be positively influenced - then live accordingly.

I have faith my actions will bring about change, because it's reasonable to believe so.
