  1. What Child like faith can help? If you notice a "crisis" in time, it will be easier to get through and overcome it. If one avoids or does not want to admit it, a solution becomes more and more difficult. Therefore one should never be afraid to seek help. One should not and may not be alone in a "crisis". However, there is a chance in crises: they can become stages of maturity that deepen the faith and allow it to grow. There are also crises in faith: e.g. when child like faith turns out to be no longer helpful for the questions and lifestyle of a teenager or adult. Or when misfortunes and disappointments make one doubt God's love or even lead to the loss of faith. Let us know how faith like a child can help us: Faith can help: - To live more relaxed, because ultimately not everything depends on me; - To have compassion and foresight, because there is a greater horizon than your own self; - To perceive my fellow human beings and to stand up for others, because Jesus Christ is a model and gives long breath; - To admit one's own mistakes and guilt, and to try to do better, because I still love God; - To form my conscience because it will give me all the more reliable orientation; - To dare to hope and to have humor because I know whom I trust, to whom I sat; - To nurse meditation and prayer, because God can come here and give relief from some problems. Despite this gratifying development, however, there is also great pressure, nervous rush, and frustration, loneliness, aggressive and depressive, dissatisfaction. From life to faith: Like the whole personality, faith also knows the development and maturing: the more "childlike" the experience of life, the more "childlike" the faith, the richer the life experience, the farther, deeper, and more helpful the faith. Childlike Faith in the Christian view does not limit life. Genuine faith helps to lead an independent, authentic and honest life. Faith is a basic attitude with which I perceive the reality: what moves me in the deepest, what challenges me, what is possible and what is necessary. Faith means first of all trust: to rely on the living God, to shape his life towards God and from him. Ultimately, faith is a "mutiny": to trust God more than all other powers, forces, influences, and instances. With this imposition, a second is connected: to a life that opens to fellow human beings - we do not need and cannot be "perfect".
