Faith is hard to come by in today's time, with all of the violence and hateful acts in the world. It becomes more difficult to believe in God and His light, but He always manages to help guide the way for a lost soul. Whenever you feel the like you've lost your way, pull out a Bible and look up one, or even all, of these forty verses.
