Faith works wonders. God is there everywhere but we cannot see him because of lack of faith. There are many stories which elaborate this point.

There was a village lady who used to earn for her family through doing some work for which she has to cross a river everyday. Sizable portion of her earnings was lost in the fare.

Once she was hearing a lecture delivered by a preacher. He said,”The name of God is so powerful that by chanting his name any one can easily cross over the ‘BhavSindhu’ or the ‘World Ocean’.” This world ocean is the ocean of attachments and the resulting miseries, sufferings and deaths in innumerable lives. But the lady was not aware of this meaning. She thought that ‘world ocean’ is a real big ocean of water. She had complete faith that God could do anything and everything. She was very happy to know about crossing ocean by chanting name of God because now she could save her earnings by this trick.

So she stepped into the river with complete faith that God will help her to cross over if she chanted his name. God had to respond to her faith. The lady walked over the river and reached the other side. She did not have to spend anything to cross over the river. She crossed the river every time with help of chanting the name of God.

She went to the preacher and thanked him for telling her that chanting the name of God she could cross the river on foot. The preacher thought she was making a fool of him. But she insisted that she crossed the river everyday on foot. The preacher went to check it himself. He could not believe his eyes to see that the lady went other side of river walking over water. He touched her feet and prayed,’O! God! Let such faith be filled in my mind too.’
