My faith carries me from one day to the next.And with each trail it increases.When the disciples stood with Jesus on the mount of transfiguration they wanted to stay on the mountain top and worship there.But Jesus took them back down the mountain to were the young epileptic boy and his father was.His disciples were being questioned as to their inability to help the boy.Jesus asked the father of the boy if he believed his son could be healed.The fathers response was " I believe but help mine unbelief". The son was healed upon the fathers request for help with his unbelief.God honors a truthful heart just as quick as He does a faithful one.On the mountain all the disciples would have done was worship but the work was at the bottom of the mountain,no doubt their faith was also increased.

I must admit my faith in God has been wandering off for the last few years. In my later teen years my step-dad molested me and my mom chose him over me. I had to go to foster care because my mom didn't want me anymore. I feel blessed that I lived with such nice family when I got put into foster care. God was the only thing keeping me alive in my world of lonliness. I prayed and prayed to have my family back and for my mom to love me again, but after 6 years and still not having things work out my faith has drifted. Church feels weird, I have tried so many and can't find a good one. People just stay in their cliques. I live my life as full as possible and I always make an effort to stay positive throughout my life. I know there are people worse off than me, and I appreciate what I have...but still I have this void because I don't have my family and that is why I've been doubting God. The church doesn't feel like family. Somewhere deep down I wish I could be as spiritual as before, but I've drifted kinda far.

My faith is God is very strong. I have no doubts about Christ. I don't question or feel that I have the right to judge who gets what and how much or whether they deserve it or not. I am grateful for what God has blessed me with and I thank him everyday. The only doubt I have is that as a human being would I have the courage to withstand physical pain and still claim His name and that I am His. Example: America is taken over by Islam and we are beaten until we say Allah is God. Could I take it and will I do what I'd like to believe that I'd do and scream God's name and pray for Jesus Christs mercy or in my weakness will I fail.

My faith is not as strong as I'd like it to be. They say it rains on the just and the unjust alike.
It's hard sometimes to watch other people get what you know you can't have but noone said life would be fair.
Most of my doubts stem from not having enough money to pay the bills.
Also, when my husband accuses me of things he knows I'm not doing, I wonder why God lets him continue doing it. And I wonder why God doesn't do something with him. He's downright hateful sometimes. How can I say "Praise God" when he's on one of his tirades?

I am with you, but also wonder why some people do not get the things that they do deserve.
A friend of mine on a current mission trip to Bleves (don't know spelling)
says these people travel up to 7 miles to get water that they know is not contaminated. And 4 miles to get basic meds like Tylenol.

I have been a Christian since I was about 8 or 9 probably. I am 20 now. I still struggle with my faith sometimes. A death in the family really throws me for a loop. I struggle because I pray so hard and then they die. My pastor just talked about disappointments in his sermon Sunday about how we just don't really know why God does the things He does it for our good so we just have to hang in there. I don't know. It's hard but I do the best I can, pray, and things get better.

Having doubts is amazingly conventional, and very solid! that's a fashion for God to educate Himself as God to you. study by the recent testomony or perhaps the former and proceed to ask over and once better for God to bare the note to you. earlier you initiate to study, pray that the Lord brings revelation to what you're studying and educate you why he's genuine. also save enthusiastic about your close by bible depending church. there is not any human being that could want to convince you of His love, yet purely with information from His Spirit will all of us understand Him. As Christ suggested, to entice close and settle for the daddy, you should settle for the Son.

I have 110% faith in God & His word is true & correct & i have no doubts about anything He says because God canot lie
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Tit 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

With the faith of a mustard seed we can move moutains! The unjust will prosfer on earth. As Christians our reward is the greatest of all in heaven. God Bless!

No matter what, Jesus Christ will be my Lord and Savior. I have no doubts whatsoever. My faith grows stronger and stronger as I give my life over to God 100%
