Rev. Patrick discusses balancing the two sides of our brain; the left side tends toward fear and anxiety, and the right side is our awareness and grounding. We have a choice in each moment how to live, and we can choose to have faith.
Faith is the capacity to meet fear without hope. If we require hope, how can we say we have faith? Hoping it will get better doesn't help! We must be confident we have everything we need to move through our situation. This doesn't mean we never have fear, but we don't lose touch with our grounding/awareness. We can learn strategies to help, and stay in community---friends who remind us who we really are.
