What makes having faith difficult ?

Kendrick Lamar “Faith”, vs 4. This for my people that stressing whenever times is hard Your mind's slipping, wondering, "Is there really a God?" Knowing you shouldn't think that way and trying to freeze your brain But whenever there's pain, that feeling forever remains We can't believe what we can't see and reality seems stronger than prayer Cause you tried to change your life, and now you live in a wheelchair And your son was born with cancer and he live in urgent care At the tender age of 12, and you feel that no one cares Searching for answers, that's human nature, you ain't in the wrong Just know when you feeling that way spirit's in the room I watched people I know pray and catch the Holy Ghost And wonder why I ain't ever caught that feeling before Maybe they know Him better, or I don't know no better But what I do know, is that He's real and He lives forever So the next time you feel like your world's about to end I hope you studied because He's testing your faith again I'd rather not live like there isn't a God Than die and find out there really is Think about it From 3:25 What reasons does Lamar give for what makes faith difficult ? What is his advice? Do you agree with his point of view?

Concluding Prayer: Almighty God, Whether we believe in you or not, you believe in us Whether we recognise your presence or not, you are still with us Whether we speak to you or not, you still talk to us Whatever our feelings for you, you never stop loving us Wherever we are, you want to give us your gifts Open our eyes, so that we can see Open our ears, so that we might listen
