Jesus said that if you have Faith the size of a mustard seed that your Faith will grow into a Mustard tree that will give shelter to the birds of the air.
Living your Faith is critical in establishing your knowledge in God. It is more than a book knowledge. Faith requires trust in our Savior.
@FindingHope than there is a good base for your faith. YOU picked yourself up during those times and YOU fought through the struggle....it may not be full on faith, but I'd say those trials you endured at least entitles you to some trust in yourself
