Faith is the power of belief manifesting.  In psychology we talk of the power of the “self-fulfilling prophecy.”  It is an uncanny way in which–what we expect becomes what we eperience.  You expect the worst and you experience the worst.  Folks who spend large portions of their time worrying about the future attract into their lives the very stuff they’re worrying about!!  It’s just the power of  thought manifesting in the physical world.

Of course, the opposite is true as well.  When we expect great things, great things show up.  The bottom line is we don’t get in life what we want, nor do we get in life what we pray for.  We get in life what we expect.  This is because what we expect  is the reflection of what we are believing to be true.  Henry Ford  once said “Believe you can or  believe you can’t, either way you are right.”

Faith is another word for expectation.  Do you like what life is showing you?  If not make a decision to change your mind and change your life.  Change what you are expecting out of life and you change the quality of your life. Always remember -we don’t always get what we want-but we always get what we expect!
