Faith is like radar that sees through the fog -- the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see.
Interpretation
Faith provides a clearer vision of the future, even when current circumstances are unclear.
This quote by Corrie Ten Boom emphasizes the importance of faith as a guiding force in our lives. Just as radar can detect objects in foggy conditions that our eyes cannot see, faith allows us to perceive possibilities and truths about the future that may not be immediately visible to us. It encourages us to trust in what we cannot yet see, fostering hope and resilience in uncertain times.
In practice
In a motivational speech about perseverance during tough times.
We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we can expect that He will get us involved in His plan for the answer. If we are true intercessors, we must be ready to take part in Godβs work on behalf of the people for whom we pray.

If you want to hear God's voice clearly and you are uncertain, then remain in His presence until He changes this uncertainty. Often much can happen during this waiting for the Lord. Sometimes, He changes pride into humility; doubt into faith and peace; sometimes lust into purity. The Lord can and will do it.
And for all these people alike, the key to healing turned out to be the same. Each had a hurt he had to forgive.
Today I know that such memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do.
God never measures the mind... He always put His tape measure in the HEART
All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible.
Never have anything to do with likes and dislikes. The absence of what one likes is painful, as is the presence of what one dislikes. Therefore don't take a liking to anything. To lose what one likes is hard, but there are no bonds for those who have no likes and dislikes. From preference arises sorrow, from preference arises fear, but he who is freed from preference has no sorrow and certainly no fear.
What old people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can. Old deeds for old people, and new deeds for new.
Some help others in order to receive blessings and admiration. This is simply meaningless. Some cultivate themselves in part to serve others, in part to serve their own pride. They will understand, at best, half of the truth. But those who improve themselves for the sake of the world - to these, the whole truth of the universe will be revealed.
When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.
Take advice, but not orders. Only give yourself orders.
