Clinging to Faith

Inspired by Hebrews 11:1

Have you ever felt that everything is against you and that there seems to be no way out?

"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1 invites us to look beyond the visible, to hold on to the invisible, and to trust in the eternal.

When everything around us cries out for tangible evidence and certainties, faith springs up as a sacred mystery that does not need to be understood to be real because it is precisely in the impossible that God manifests himself with greater power.

In the moments when everything seems to be extinguished, when the doors do not open and longings are hidden under pain... in that silence, God deposits the seed that will bear fruit in His time. And if we hold on to faith, we will see what seemed dead flourish.

The Centurion: Faith That Doesn't Need to See

The Bible shows us the example of the centurion who approached Jesus with an urgent request: his servant was paralyzed, suffering terribly. Jesus, with compassion, offered to come to his house. The centurion’s humble faith ran so deep and true, it stirred awe within the heart of Christ:

"I do not deserve to have You near, but just one word from You is enough to bring healing to the one I love." —Matthew 8:8

This man understood the power of authority. As an officer, he knew that one order was enough to make his soldiers obey. And he believed that Jesus had that same authority over sickness, over the invisible, over the impossible.

Jesus marveled, said:

"I speak with conviction: not even among God’s chosen have I witnessed faith this pure and courageous." —Matthew 8:10

And with just one word, the miracle happened. The very second the word was spoken; the servant was restored.

This account reminds us that we don't need to see to believe. We don't need physical proof to trust what God has said. Sometimes, all that is required is a word. A promise. A deep conviction that God can.

What if today you also said to Him, "Lord, I don't need to understand everything... just say the word"? Your faith can move what seems immovable.

God does not wait for perfect scenarios to manifest Himself. Amid the shadow, He lit His light; in chaos, he shaped life; and in pain, he sowed hope with tenderness. His specialty is the impossible. And what He has promised, He will keep. Not by our strength, but by His faithfulness.

To cling to faith is not to ignore what hurts, but to trust in what transcends: that God is working in silence, and that his purpose flourishes even in uncertainty. His timing is perfect, even though ours is filled with urgency.

So, when fear whispers that there is no way out, respond in faith, "God can." When logic says it doesn't make sense, answer in faith, "God knows." When the heart trembles, let faith rise and whisper, “I am not alone—God is near.”

Faith isn’t born from emotion—it’s chosen with intention. A posture of the soul that says: "Even if I don't see, I believe. Even if I don't understand, I trust. Even if it hurts, I hope."

Will your heart dare to believe, even when hope seems hidden by impossibility?
