Faith is belief-based knowledge. It’s the ultimate trust in someone or something.

For the religiously inclined, it’s the conviction in a divine being. For everyone, it’s the driver behind leaning into a relationship, a choice or a challenge without being able to explain why we should.

Tests and hardships can lead us into dark places, and it’s often faith, this unexplainable force, that propels us to move forward. In situations like these, people with faith (religious or otherwise) are reported to cope better. Perhaps it’s the acceptance in limited control (both good and bad) in our lives that forces believers to be detached.
