Hi there,
I'm Christian .... and always try to push doubt out of my head, but in the last few days it's becoming too real. It started by talking about other religions - So many other believers of other religions face miracles just as Christians do. The question comes in of, "what if we make things happen for ourselves? Or, when we think we feel God, it's just that - it's a feeling we're making up FOR ourselves?" Simple question, one I thought wouldn't have to be asked after believing in Christ for awhile.
I thought everything was okay. But now I feel like there's a huge pit in my stomache. What would I do if there's not a God? If so, these past few years have been a joke, all of these thoughts and all of this time I have put into it worthless. It's the most painful thought in the world when the realization comes that it just *might* be true.This all snuck up on me totally, that doubt would slam into me like this and now I feel almost desperate to be convinced again. I thought I was past the point of feeling like this. I'm aware this might sound a little crazy... but does anyone else deal with doubt this way? And how do you overcome it?
