Walk by faith, not by sight

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.
He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm. We, too, are never alone. Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.

This is one of my friend emailed to me yesterday. I have actually lose my faith in God, not only in my own religious. I do not want to put my fate or hope on them as i feel that I can change my own fate and the hope I hoped, I have to work hard for myself then it can come true.That has nothing to do with the God. After reading this and reflected myself, I realised that eventho it is true that I have the ability to change, but God is still with me whenever I needed the advice. I decided to re-built my faith on God but now I don noe where should I go. I fear of losing faith again. Haiz..How to built back the trust i used to have in God and people? *Sigh*
