I think I'm losing fayth, help?

Question

Catholic

I wanna keep my fayth, is there anything that could help me?

Answer 1

...Who has created all things well and He originated the creation of man out of clay, then He fashioned his progeny of an extraction of mean water, then He shaped it, and breathed His spirit in it. And He appointed for you hearing and sight, and heart; little thanks you show.

Answer 2

Lets assume you may mean that you are losing your faith in God. When is the last time, you sit down and had a talk with God? He will not intrude in your life you must make time for him, not the preist, but for God himself. As many of the people who have answerd your question have made clear they do not beleave in god, but you will find in many cases they worship the creation but not the creator, (ie enviromentlest) anyway, befour you give up, if you can go to a quite peaceful place, find one simple flower, and ask youself, who anywhere can create such a thing from nothing,. I mean nothing, a old joke goes as such,
A group of educated scienantist got together and said, we have accomplished everthing, we no longer need god, so they voted and chose on man to go tell god they no longer needed him to but out of their lives so this man went to the thrown of God, and Said, God, we men, have learned how to do everthing, we don't need you anymore, we can heal, extend life, put man into space. we don't need you so just go away. So God said, ok, lets have a contest, lets see who can create a living thing, just like i did in the begining, so the man agreed, God said, ok you go first. The man bent down picked up a hand full of dirt and started to walk away, but God, said oh no, that's mine, you make your own dirt.
See my point, only the blind could be so blind to belive that everything is here only by chance. If eveloution was true, then why did we not all ":evolve the same" Faith, is simple, beleaving is the hard part. I hope you will get it right, to beleave that when this life ends its over, would be ok, if you are right, you will never even know it happend, but if I am right, and you reject my God, then what?

Answer 3

Rom. 10:17 faith follows the things heard compare acts 17:11,12 and John 4: 39-42; and 2 chronicles 9:5-8 A person must first find out what the bible says, and he will strengthen his conviction if he examines it carefully so as to be convinved of its reliability. Then romans 10:10 says tith the heart one exercises faith faith is strenghtened when you act on what you learn and see the evidence of God's blessing on what you do.

Answer 4

Dear Catholic, here are some Scriptures that speak of faith. The first one, written to the Roman churches from Paul the Apostle, is one you want to take to heart.

RO 10:17 [F]aith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

Paul was saying that God's people had heard the message, but had not received the message with Christ's Spirit for understanding.
You can hear the Word read, taught and preached many, many times, but without the Holy Spirit to give you the understanding the message just bounces off deaf ears. With the Holy Spirit as your teacher, the message will touch your spirit and your faith will be increased.
Remember do not put your "faith" in human teachers, trust God to be your spiritual teacher.
Here are some more Scriptures. I pray for you as you read them. Also, I pray you'll begin reading the Bible yourself and everytime you pick it up ask God to be your spiritual guide and teacher as you read. I know, without a doubt, your faith will grow.

RO 3:3 What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? [4] Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar.

HEB 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. [2] This is what the ancients were commended for. [3] By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

HEB 12:2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. [3] Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

JAS 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, [3] because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. [4] Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. [5] If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. [6] But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. [7] That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; [8] he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

REV 2:13 I know where you live--where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me . . .

Answer 5

All you need, is to draw near to God in time of need and He WILL answer you, read Jeremiah 3:33.

Get your bible out, and start reading the new testament for yourself. get into the word of God more than just a sunday at mass, otherwise you will become dry and wonder why God is so far away. its hard to be close to God when you are in the Catholic faith, coz they preach more on obedience and stuff like that, but its important for you to have a relationship with God. for refreshing sermons, and lots of scriptural but not boring teachings, try the free sermons u can download on www.creflodollarministries.org or www.kcm.org

Prayer (every day, and im not talking, repeating yourself over and over, lay aside the rosaries, and just say, Father, in the name of Jesus, i wanna just talk to you"... and then just start talking to Him as you would your best mate!)

The Word of God

and

Worship (get a nice worship cd, you will probably like Hillsong or if your a little older, Terry MacAlmon)

these three things will rescue your wavering faith.
get alone time with God. He loves you so much and it would be so awful for you to forget about Him. He has great plans for you! Cling to Him all the days of your life :-)

look up that scripture. its a promise from Him.

Answer 6

Congratulations - that's actually a very good thing.


Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

Answer 7

Get the Catechism of the Catholic Church and read it. Start prat]ying seriously. Talk to believing Catholics about how they nourish their faith-lives and relationship with God and the Communion of Saints.

Answer 8

Just try to do more investigation on religion. There are plenty of websites which offer this you may look below as one source

Answer 9

Answer 10

If you are talking about faith in the Lord Jesus, yes you can get in the Bible and pray to God for more faith.

Answer 11

Don't lose faith in yourself. Don' lose faith in whatever is good in your religion. Jesus is real. Jesus is good. Don't lose faith. What do you mean by losing faith? Maybe you are just making a step ahead. Your faith change, but it does not go away.
