Believe in? You believe now. You have to have faith, not only belief. You have faith NOW. YES, you do.
Why do I say that? Here is why......
Hebrews 11:17-19
People put their trust in different things. Some place faith in the Lord; others trust in themselves or another person. Faith can even be placed in relationships, money, or politics. Anytime we put absolute trust in something, we demonstrate faith. So, the question isn't, Do I have any faith? but rather, In what have I placed my faith? Looking at that question honestly will shake up your assumptions about your spiritual life.
An old saying explains, "Faith gives feet to belief." Simply put, this means that faith is the active expression of what you believe about God. If you have the idea that He sits in some far-off place called "heaven" and only halfheartedly listens to your prayers, then that will reveal itself in your day-to-day walk of faith. Your God will seem small, powerless, and disinterested. The result will be a string of seemingly unanswered prayers and a general sense of defeat.
If, on the other hand, you believe that God is right beside you, whispering in your ear, pouring out His Holy Spirit upon you - and that He is intimately familiar and concerned with the minutiae of your life - then such a belief will impact your faith walk. Prayer will be a joyful exchange between cherished friends, and the evidence of our heavenly Father's miraculous power will become commonplace in your daily life.
Weak faith says, "God can." Great faith says, "God will." But perfect faith - godly faith - says, "It's done." Your faith is your testimony.
good Q*

â¥â«â¦âª Start out by talking to God and he will tell you your purpose in life and what to do when things go wrong. God is real and powerful the reason why you are starting to feel like this is because you have found your true calling the time is now. Get saved before it is too late. You could die today or tomorrow I am sure that you would want to know that you have a place in the Kingdom of Heaven. I hope that I have helped you. â¥â«â¦âª

The Bible talks about the real hope for humanity. It is God's Kingdom. The Bible tells how Satan challenged God's right to rule over the humans that he created and how God has allowed him (Satan) time to prove that humans could rule themselves without God. It also tells how miserably humans have failed to do this. It then promises to solve this problem through the Kingdom of God (God's government with Jesus Christ as it's temporary king). Following this 1,000 year reign of God through Jesus, all humans who have remained in God's memory will have been resurrected and brought back to perfection. Then, Jesus will give the earthly rule back to his father and God will again rule over all mankind. Sickness, death, war, famine, poverty, and all other things will be gone. This is God's promise to all men.

It is nice that you are feeling like you should believe in something. Yes it always gives peace. I will not tell you to believe in God or any religion etc.....But I will like you to read what different religions are preaching. When I read what Buddha preached, some how I felt it was very simple and peaceful.so I don,t make Buddha my God, but I follow his preaching which guides me in my life. I think this is what you should do.Read all books of religion and see where you get peace and satisfaction.

There are lots of things to believe in. The problem is not actually believing. The problem is that through that belief you can be brainwashed and subsequently manipulated. You can believe in your potentiality, or in your friends' kindness, or in your intelligence, or in science, or in a million other things.

search and you will find, knock and it will be given to you. Tell you what I did in a moment where I really wanted to know the truth. I was alone sitting in a chair I closed my eyes and said in all earnestness "God if you exist please give me a sign, any sign, i just want to know" He gave me a sign, undeniably a sign that I am sure He knew I would understand. Oh yeah the answer was yes.

I am a Christian and believe that the emptyness in your life can only be filled by Jesus. We are all called by our Lord constantly and he is very patient with us. This is your time to respond, because you may not be this conscious of a call in the future if you ignore this one. I will pray for you.

Thoughts... are from the our dead ancestors... we have common thoughts and you must wonder why do we have the knowledge the way we think and act now. Common thoughts... words, common words... I believe we owe this to all those words to the God's People who have given us proper thoughts.
But as it is, I presume that you have a lonesome moments and as if waiting for something out there... it would be good for a moment but not for long time, would fine. God is as always is.
