| Feeling dehydrated, I came to conciousness at 3:22 this morning and couldn't fall back asleep, so here I am. Lately, I've been questioning my faith. It's hard to decribe, but I feel like I don't have faith, I just believe, just because this is what I've grown up with, this is what I've been told is the "truth." I don't pray as often as I used to. But if you ask God to talk to you, or to give you a sign, how do you not become paranoid that anything and everything might be that sign? When I signed on a few minutes ago, I had a new e-mail with the subject "Faith." Does that mean anything? After reading it, I don't think it does. (It was just an e-mail regarding summer reading, which is about...faith). I don't know what the answers are, but I think we have to at least have something to believe in. If not, life would be pretty sad, don't you think? | |

unbleachedblond | 07-29-03 1:52pm i know exactly what u mean...i struggled with that several mos ago, and still struggle with it. it does seem that everyhting we leaarned as kids was the truth - cuz we really had no reason to challenge it - ive come to hte conclusion tho that if we all believe in the same god, then who really cares what religion we are in and which church we go to (unfortunately my mother disagrees...). we can "worship" our god in whatever way we feel comfortable. i notice i dont pray at all really anymore...and after going to rezlife for a while now, i seem to get more out of that then the catholic church that mom literally drags me too on sundays. i find that singing at rezlife totally seems to fulfill my need - haha thats crap...i mean like some ppl do benediction or need to pray...but i guess for me its singing...(and i belt it out - its great, both me and manda-totally tone deaf, singing at the top of our lungs...its fulfilling to us, but probly not for the ppl around us.) another thing, i struggle with the whole "god has control" and that stuff...i mean will he really stop me if im gonna do somthing stupid? or will i be able to exercise my ability to make my own decisions? u get what im tryin to say or am i just talkin outa my ass? |
Harris26 | 08-01-03 4:06pm U know it does make you think...do I actually have faith in God b/c we have grown up with it for soo long..u more b/c you heard about it everyday of the week...but I still wonder if my grandparents were not soo faithful towards God and things would I have faith in him??? It does make you wonder....hmmmm I remember I used to pray to God every nite but then I gradually began to stop...I don't know if it was b/c I stopped believing in faith or what but I did...well I prolly boring u so I'll stop! |
