god help: I am losing my faith. - Help.com

Then you should keep believing in what you thought it was, if it worked for you and made sense. The Bible is just a book, written by people just like you. It doesn’t necessarily have to be truth. Just have faith in what makes sense and seems good to you.

I just believe that there is a God. Someone looking out for all of us. I don’t really think things like religion can be defined or researched–everyone has their own opinion, all claiming it to be fact. Just believe in SOMETHING that feels right to you.

I feel your pain, Absolute Beginner. I have three beautiful children but I am divorced and raising them while dealing with unemployment. I say this because although I am truly thankful every single day for my safe home and food to eat and healthy children, I too struggle with faith, suffering and God’s existance.

I cannot just take pat answers such as “He exist” or “Just believe.” I want to and often I do but sometimes I feel the pangs of doubt whether he sees the suffering of children during war, injustice towards women and oppression of people all over. People of all races and religions reach up or bow down in pray to him but I wonder if he truly hears or cares. Does he love us only if we love him back? Or does he love us dispite ourselves?

The closest thing I come to God is realizing that each day is a chance to seek him out. Sometimes in the Bible, sometimes looking at the wonder of nature and sometimes just the shine in a child’s eye.

So does he exist and if he does then how do we come to a place of belief. There is a beautiful verse in the Bible that tells us to stop and often reflect. It says,
“Be still and know that I am.”

Take comfort that you are not alone. For all who believe, pray for his faith, health and happiness.

I am in the same mindset. I have been a Christian for many years; decades. I am not questioning the existence of God, but the church and find man has caused so much turmoil that I do not attend anymore. I am uneasy and know God is there, but it seems I need something else and don’t know what it is.

Dear one,
It is difficult to address your questions or interpretations with so little information, but I want you to have all the answers you need!
One important issue is - what have you been placing your faith in?
Many people have sincere intentions and deep religious interest, but never realize that they are placing their faith in themselves. Any faith that depends upon one’s own ability to do right or be acceptable will lead to disillusionment.
The death of Jesus on the cross is the center of the Christian faith because it accomplished the perfect acceptance from God that no human could otherwise experience. This is the consistent message of the Bible, and even in Jesus’ time it was consistently misunderstood. He was constantly encounering the religious leaders of the day with their hypocrisy and their obsession with keeping the commandments when they did not really know God.
Of course, I don’t know if this is your situation. It may something totally different! There are also many sincere people who have a living relationship with Jesus Christ who experience doubts because of difficult circumstances, challenging encounters, succumbing to temptation or other things! These issues can be addressed specifically. There are many excellent resources for questions about the faith.
It is most important to remember that God is deeply and personally interested in you and concerned for you. Keep reading the Word and investigating good resources!

Whether we beleive in God or not has a lot to do with our environment and training, but if God wishes to reveal himself to you then you will get to know the real person. I beleive God gave his son Jesus as proof that he loves the world and intends to save it and all scencient beings he has created. Very few see this because of their training or their fears, but love never fails and God will not fail in his mission to restore all. You may not understand much about this but you can have faith in God if he gives you the faith to beleive in him. That faith will be tested throughout your life.

So whether we beleive in God or not he believes in all of us, unless he does not exist. Then all we have is our short life and back to the dust. My heart crys out there is so much more and that the human race is just getting started.

Do not judge yourself God is a reality even for non believers he is there he is always there but there will be days when we must prey but after the storm there will be peace

Hi everyone…Im new at this site. I am struggling to the point that I dont know who I am any more. Im bisexual…failed nine relationships. Four with females and five with men. These relationships were anywhere from 3 to 6 months to 3.5 years. Im the one who has commitment issues because I cant define who I really am straight,gay,sex worker..or what?

I have always went to church and repent and ask God for forgiveness. However, my anger gets the best of me because I never asked for all this confusion and my parents…well they just dont understand. Pops was never a good mentor in my life and as a child he verbally abused me to the point that I have a hard time trying NOT to believe in it. “Your a burden to me”, “Your a punishment from God”, I should take you and hang you your worthless. Old testament states Thou shalt not lay with mankin as women…Lavitucus. Then the new testament states love all Gods children as you would love yourself, love your enemies…etc. Yet, I cant help to feel that uneasy feeling whenever i get into any relationship whether its with men or women…or when I keep my enemies close and show love even though I dislike their selfish ways. Now, what I mean by that is that people always have a hidden agenda and i tend to allow them to unfold upon me…even though we have spoken clearly about whats going down. Life is so complicated for me and I dont want to be alone the rest of my life. One final note. I became HIV positive 2005 at age 31. I always tested myself every 6 to 8 months cause of my lifestyle. Now, help me here, did I become positive because of Homosexuality? I was not haveing permiscuos sex…until I became positive…but only with other HIV positive people. Anyhow, I really dont understand why me. Why couldnt I have understanding parents to guide me through my sexuallity and fears.

in the bible it says.. blessed is he who believes without seeing. no ones perfect
in this world. dont ever give up on God, that same God who had to bear the pain of
seeing his son die. His HOLY, Sinless son die for us. so that we could live every day worry free and so that one day we may too see his beautiful face in heaven. listen to me, if you need anything find a pasture, or someone you can trust or even me if you need to. dont ever doubt him, because everything he does he does for a
reason. God bless you and ill keep you in my prayers.
