Lent is often a difficult time for many; reflect, go through the spiritual desert and realize that you have things to change and improve is not easy, although in the end it is understood that it is worth living intensely and consistent with the Catholic faith. For human beings, many things are hard and difficult in life, illnesses, love breakups or the loss of a job, among others. Almost that implora to know a quick and easy method to get ahead before the difficulties, almost everyone would like to know or have a magic formula to overcome adversity and that further aggravates the situation, because there is not.

All human beings at some point in their lives we will experience problems that generate existential and faith crises, things that we can not solve, difficulties before which we can not find a way to get ahead. All that remains is to think carefully about what is appropriate, which decision is more favorable and use all the skills and abilities that are available to be able not only to cope with the situation but to succeed. Faith is also that ability to look at life from the perspective of hope, with a perspective of kindness, of confidence that everything can be better.

Being a Christian implies having an intimate relationship with Jesus, and of all the consequences this brings, one of them is having seen and being witnesses of God's love, it is knowing that He has done what seemed impossible to do, is having the Certainty that one is not alone, that He walks with each one. Faith, in this case, should lead not only to trust in God to help you, but also to be able to get ahead and resolve any difficulties that may arise. Being a Christian is having an advantage in life. Believing in God is an advantage when facing problems, it is an advantage at the moment of not having clear ideas of how to act or what should be said in certain situations, having faith means in this sense, knowing that you can, that There is help, but the greatest advantage of all this is knowing that He is able to resolve and better understand life situations.

This advantage, which is discussed here, must always be understood, during any time of the year, during this Lenten season, for example, where questions arise about whether the sacrifices or fasts that are made make sense, about whether it is the way for everything improve and you can live better, that advantage, to believe in it, should be understood as the possibility of achieving anything, that is able to achieve the impossible, have that faith in him, should lead to convince that everything is possible for the one who believes.

Ephesians 3: 16-17

I ask you, through the Spirit and with the power that comes from your glorious riches, to strengthen you in the depths of your being, so that by faith Christ may dwell in your hearts. And I ask that, rooted and grounded in love.

Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace to you who believe in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 11: 25-26

Then Jesus said to him, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even if he dies; and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?

If you're a Catholic you should know that your church teaches salvation by infant baptism, good works, and obedience to church rules.

If you study the Bible you'll learn that we're saved by faith alone in Christ alone guided by the Bible alone.

You become a Christian when you repent of your sins, accept what Jesus did on the cross to pay for those sins, and accept Jesus as Lord.

You don't become a Christian because you were baptized or because you believe in God or because you go to church or because of what your parents do.

If we have faith we can do whatever God calls us to do. It doesn't mean that we'll achieve anything we want in our selfish ambition.
