Naturally, but at those moment I turn to God for help and ask Him to strengthen my faith. He does indeed :)

Because satan is working on you, he wants to take you down and destroy you. It will take a turning away from our source of strength and life to be defeated. If he can get you away from God by discouraging you, he will then be able to whip your butt and down you go.
Good news, the righteous man falls seven times. This means that he keeps getting back up and moves forward, he never quits but he does take a few hits from the enemy.
The real question is how you respond????? We will all face challenges that can cause us to lose faith, but how you respond will make the difference. You will have victory if you know where to run and you run there. But if everytime you get hit, you turn away from God, you have given the enemy the result he is looking for. On the other hand, if every time you are hit you run to God, study His Word, Pray, Pray, Pray, you are giving the enemy exactly what he doesn't want because this behavior will result in Spiritual growth and satan doesnt want you to grow in faith, he wants you down for the fast count.
Don't let the enemy win, Read Joshua 1:8 today and Jeremiah 29:11

I remember one time in my life I was 17 years old and my uncle who was an Atheist I guess, he had some strange ideas about God and the world, came over for a visit. Now my mother and I believed in God and I guess you could categorize us as Catholics, but shared other religious beliefs as well. He talked to me a lot about how God didn’t exists and went on for weeks with his ideas that we are alone in the world and God is not real and how people will eventually kill each other. Rants of that nature. I realize now I was being brainwashed, and it worked on my impressionable mind at 17 years old. I all of a sudden didn’t believe in God and it was the worst moment of my life. I felt emptiness inside me and confusion. After he left my mother was shocked to see the affect he had on me and tried to re-establish my faith. It came back in time, and many events in my life to date has validated my faith in God and that there is a spiritual side to life in this world. Therefore, loosing my faith in God, helped me gain a stronger faith in God.

I sometimes feel as if my faith is in vain. I feel as if I have not found the truth at times. I know I have searched and searched but don't find anything that holds me for longer than a few months.

Examine yourself again. Perhaps it is NOT A LOSS OF FAITH in what you believe in BUT, instead, it is a LOSS OF TRUST in certain people or teachings that you have been so used to listening to...
It may be one of DISILLUSIONMENT that I myself underwent when I had to confront the false teachings of the Church that I once belonged to most of my life.
Search deeper within your own heart and you will find what you seek...
Peace be with you.

Faith is the ladder. One may or may not believe. After knowing nothing matters

My faith was tested once and I almost lost my faith becuase I thought that God had abandoned me. But later on I realized that this wasn't so. He was trying to make me stronger and no longer afraid.

I never felt like I was loosing faith that God is God. I only would lose faith in myself and get discouraged. But Jesus always loves and forgives unconditionally and that brings me back to my senses. It not about us. Its about him.

No, never. All I have to do is look at the Tanakh (the Holy Scriptures) and other books of the history of my people, and their relationship to G-d and the world, it makes me excited to be a part of it all. From Abraham to today---------we are working to make a better world, for all people.
