Well I don't blame you for having lack of faith in man's religion. That's not the same as faith in God and His Word. Don't have faith in things of this world, such as men and government, because they can and sometimes will let you down. God never will. Faith grows as long as you are seeking God. Read Matthew 7:7. God is waiting for you.
May God Bless you.

"To every man is given a measure of faith." From that measure it is like a muscle. You must keep excercising it for it to work. "Faith without works is dead." So you can't base your future on your past, faith wise, because faith has to do with where you are going not where you have been. If you have believed in something that did not happen it may be because you are not in fellowship with God? Since God is the God of circumstances, He will not drive up a Brinks Truck, and deliver money, but He will lead you to financial success if you are faithful will a little. You must also be able to hear him. We are just stewards of any material things that come into our care. If we can be good and faithful with little God will increase us. It is all impossible without following the manufactures instructions that are tattooed on your heart. You may have to clear up the mirror to see them, but that is the action you must take if you expect a reaction.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for but not yet seen. Do you have faith that the sun will appear in the morning? Do you have faith that you will touch the floor when you wake up, that it will be there?
This is what faith in God is about. Knowing that He is here but, not yet seen. It takes no dicipline. God just wants us to believe in Him.

The religion is the belief in God, therefore it is not of men but God.
People I believe lack faith for a lot of reasons, perhaps mostly pride and loving the pleasures of this world more than God.

it does take disipline to have faith. in fact we just talked about it in my church. u see u dont lack the ability ur just unsure about what to believe. go to differnt types of churches- baptists, lutheren, catholic, full gospel for example. find the one that best fits u and go for a while ull see ur faith grow and u will have better disipline to do so.
hope u make the right choice

Discipline? To have faith is a gift from God. Ask for it.

It seems that no living things can exist without discipline.
None of them can live without taking a sufficient dose of water - sufficient means the discipline of not to take too little or too much.

The only thing faith requires is the ability to delude ones self.

No. The sustinence of Faith takes total intellectual abandonment.

well, do u believe in God?
religion is man made. spirituality is about your own rltp with God.i think your rltp with God, is more important than following a religion.
