This is the Day

faith will save you, faith will save you
faith will save you, stay safe
but the wind might change i will still remain
i will still be here
but the wind might change i will still remain
i will always be there for you
faith will save you, faith will save you
faith will save you, stay safe
- The Cranberries

Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of God, and the words he is constantly speaking to my heart. Okay, okay, to be honest, the song is really about people but in reality, God is the only one who can live up to these words. How many times have you promised a friend to "always be there," only to find that "circumstances" get in the way when the need finally arises.

It can be rough when your situation changes dramatically and you feel like you're all alone to face it. We come to depend on certain familiarities in life, whether it's a person, thing, or even just a routine. If you woke up tomorrow with nothing, could you still carry on? If you lost your entire family in a single accident, could you find the motivation to get out of bed each morning and continue to live your life?

We live in a world where very little is certain. Technology tries to tell us that we're invincible, but time and time again we're proven wrong as we get torn down, and must struggle to recover and rebuild.

Check yourself: what do you depend on?
