I do. I am struggling as we speak. I never thought my faith would ever get like this. If you do struggle with your faith, why? Please let me know that I am not alone.

the struggle is the belief in Christ. I know that without a doubt that God exists

When something becomes difficult or you become doubtful, that is just a sign that that it time for you to go to the next level. Nothing worth having, like strong faith, comes easy. Its probably time for you to study and bring your faith to the next level. God is testing you now, you have to push through this, it will be difficult,
but the key is consistency and steadfastness. You have outgrown your current faith and understanding of God, its time to move to the next level. Don't expect it to be easy, all greats go through this stage in all areas! ask for guidance everyday and say with it. This is a great opportunity for you to go to a higher level of spirituality. Pain is weakness leaving the body, you can either give up or get stronger. If you stay with it, you will be on a higher level of sprityuality. You soul is telling you to seek. The level of spritulaity for a person is actually infinite.

A lot of things can cause people to struggle with their faith including unanswered questions or no personal proof or experience. A diagnosis of an incurable illness, a death of a loved one, or major life changes can also trigger struggles of faith. What usually happens is you'll modify your beliefs based on the struggle and see where it leads you, or you'll get stuck in a spiritual rut trying to resolve something that can't be resolved adequately.
Personally, I think people are better off modifying their beliefs and moving on rather than continuing to believe something that no longer works for them. Certainly seek out answers to your questions, but if you're not satisfied with those answers - what can you do? You have to be true to yourself first and foremost.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all religion. :)

Hi Honey.
It's always in times of struggle that we have the greatest lessons to learn, and from them the greatest blessings. I can't say that I've doubted my faith in Christ, perse; I've doubted my STANDING with Him when I've backslidden, and gotten cold on Him. Have you been reading your Bible and praying? I also recommend listening to some Praise and worship music. If you want to visit my 360 page, there's a good song on my "Blast" at the top of my page where I'm asking for prayer for my dad, then it says "click here" it will take you to the song.
Hang in there honey. If you've been saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus, realize we ALL go through "dry spells" from time to time. I'll pray for you!

Yes. I have faith in the Bible but only have hard time trusting Christendom’s beliefs about Trinity, Hell, and others. That's all.
P.S. I hate Devil because he is always trying to break my relationship with God and His son, Jesus Christ. *sighs*

You are not alone ... I'm where you're at. I don't want to elaborate on this site the reasons as they are personal and ignorant people will slam them. If anything good has come out of it it's that I see people in a whole new light. Peace :-)

Every day. And I would think something was wrong if we didn't struggle. Hang in. God comes all different ways.

I think everyone has at least one time or another struggled with their faith. I believe it's perfectly healthy. I think maybe it's time for you to find some answers for yourself and not look to others for guidance, if you already haven't.
Alow for spirtual discovery.

Well everyone has doubt.
Its part of being human.
But getting past that doubt is what makes your faith stronger.
Questioning is always encouraged because it makes your faith stronger.

I struggle with creationism vs. evolution. The Bible says creationism, but science is more likely to prove evolution.

You know that without a doubt God exists??? Really? How? I only ask because "knowing without a doubt that God exists" is completely impossible
