keeping faith
Maintaining your belief
Keeping faith means remaining loyal to a commitment, belief, or person.
To keep faith with someone is to honor promises made to them: She kept faith with her supporters even when it cost her.
The phrase implies steadfastness through difficulty—not abandoning principles or people when circumstances change.
The opposite is breaking faith.
