    Losing faith, In need of help and advice

    Thank you all so much for your kind words. I am doing much better at the moment but I am up and down, I just try to take every day as it comes. I am still struggling with not feeling like God is there but I do believe and I suppose that's what is important. I just hope one day I will feel he's...

    Losing faith, In need of help and advice

    Thank you, I hope so too. My sister passed 7 days after her 30th. She was just starting to try and deal with her anxiety and we discussed all the things we would do. She was healthy and never really got sick before this other than her epilepsy. I miss her so much. I feel constantly like I am...

    Losing faith, In need of help and advice

    Thank you for all your kind words, and sorry if I didn't capitalize the G in God. I honestly mean no disrespect. I am doing my best to keep my faith up. I really do believe, if anything I blame myself and not God. Maybe if I was a better person it wouldn't have all happened. When I said I can't...

    Losing faith, In need of help and advice

    My sister had only just turned 30, she didn't have chance to have much of a life as she had serious anxiety issues. I just which I good feel God, but I just feel disconnected from everything. I just feel empty and as if God is not there. I don't want to lose my faith but it's hard when I can't...

    Losing faith, In need of help and advice

    Hi all, I consider myself a Christian for a while now but I suffered a tragedy last year. October last year my sister was diagnosed with terminal cancer and she passed away on December 5th. I prayed and talked to God every day and I believe he told me she was going to be healed and I had...

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    Do I pray? I'm not sure if it's classed as praying but I am trying to talk to God and ask for guidance but i sometimes feel like i don't have the right to yet but I try anyway as that notion is probably silly. Thanks for explaining the above in the way you did as this is exactly how I was...

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    Once again I thank you so much, as this was and is still a major road block for me but you have made me feel somewhat better about it and maybe I can get past this. I don't want to give up on my journey for myself more importantly for my kids as I want the kingdom of heaven to be a reality for...

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    You misunderstand me, I am not saying I want 100% scientific proof (would be nice though lol) but what I am saying is that in my life this has been a block but as I said I find myself starting to surrender to belief with no reason which is quite annoying for me. I would like to witness god for...

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    Hi I am from the UK also (Hi five =D) I do understand what you and the others are saying but the thing is I don't want to grow to love anything more than my kids. For me to say otherwise would just make me a hypocrite. I truly want to be come to God and to come to know him and its made me a...

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    Matthew 22:35-38 35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" 37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the...

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    I really do believe in the teachings , especially when it comes to love but im not sure i could ever love anything or anyone more than my kids they are my life. Surely we should love all equally and rather than switching places in a list we work one a love of equality? Does that make sense?

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    I sure am trying, Just not entirely sure what I am doing but one thing I can tell you is I want to give myself over to believing 110% for myself, in the hope will be better and more than anything for my kids.

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    Thank you so much for your response I can really relate to it. I am going to try and pray for him to help me understand any sign he may give me. I think I am slowly letting go of my doubt and my fear. Almost as if I dont care if i'm wrong because its something which i just need to do if that...

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    I am trying to ask for guidance everyday bvefore reading a bible verse and I dont think I asked anything particular. It is more of a case of in my head I ask ; "if you up there, please show me a sign" or "please, guide me to something that could be a sign" I am falling into faith I think but...

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    I do class myself as a believer now although I cant say I have had any sign myself. I actually read a paper by K.Himma (I might be recalling his name wrong) on this subject but I think its is not really a solid argument. That is not to say it couldn't be true but I think it is too easily...

    Is Faith like a growing flame?

    I will check it out but in my experience so far no one has been able to scientifically proof it. This has been my burden as I have wanted to believe for some time but my scientific mind would not let me etc. Albeit now I am starting to without any sign really.
