What's should I do,,, 'coz recently these days I can't trust my self and I feel like I lost my faith...?

Question

there are so many problem 'n conflicts in my life now a days...and I just can't handle it,,,I can figure it out....I lost my faith, coz even when I pray I can feel my self in me...I'm totally in low point...

Answer 1

I felt that way for a little while. I know, it can be a struggle sometimes and every Christian can admit that they have their times. (Assuming you are Christian) But, I prayed and prayed and prayed. I was at my breaking point with my finances, husband's job not going good, cant pay the bills, I was very depressed. We just turned it all over to God and, when we didn't see it coming, a great job came to my husband and things are getting right back on track. I know you can get down and things can get hard, but remember, God will always provide your needs, not always things you WANT but, always your NEEDS. Also, while going through all this, remember, you might have struggles throughout your life but, in the end, your day will come to be with God and it will all be worth what you went through here on earth....Do you have a church you go to? If so, talk to your preacher, believe me, you are not the first to go through this. If not, please find a church or someone you can talk to about this. Please don't loose your faith. If you still need someone to talk to, you can email me on here, i would be glad to help....

Answer 2

Well I've recently been where you were, and in a whole ton of **** myself.

I was wasting my life with alcohol and drugs, hurting everyone close to me and completely destroying the life I'd been given.  Living with a dysfunctional family, and steadily becoming addicted to alcohol and drugs, and depending on them as my source of happiness, I knew my life was going down.  I felt completely hopeless and nothing I could do would change it.

I then picked up the Bible.  I started reading the gospels, and halfway through John, someone came over me.  I can't describe, but at the end, when Jesus came back for his disciples and told them not to be afraid, I felt renewed.  From nowhere I was given a new purpose in my life.  I felt happy, and realized that I had found something stronger than substances - God.  Hearing the story of Jesus completely changed my life, and as I kept reading I changed.  In a mere four days I've gone from being an addict to a free person, living my life according to Jesus.  

Do what I did.  Realize you have no control over anything.  It's when you are at your lowest point and you give up control that Jesus will come down and pick you up.  Matthew 11:28 - "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."  Reading this passage comforted me - it was like I was being directly spoken to.  Open yourself up.  Read the Gospels (even if you've read them before; they are more powerful than you believe).  Realize you have no power, and give up all you try to control, and let God take over.

People can say what they want about religion.  All I know is that I was addicted, and after reading the Gospels and praying I wasn't.  I don't think science can prove that.  And frankly I don't care.  God has intervened in my life to break the most powerful hold over a person, and I will put my faith in him.  My life has been completely renewed and fulfilled, and I know why.  I don't need anyone else to explain why.

And I'm not the only one.  A certain guitarist named Eric Clapton was one of the biggest alcoholics in popular culture.  He went through re-hab twice and never got cured.  Reading his autobiography, he said the night he went down on his knees and gave up all control he had and prayed to God, allowing God to work in him, he got cured.  He said since then he has never desired alcohol.  Like me, he said he doesn't care what anyone says.  He knows what happened, and no one else could judge his situation.

Hopefully this shows you how God can take ahold of your life and renew you, if it is what you truley want.  Only you know what you really want.  But he is there for you and will never abandon you.  Give up control, don't put faith in yourself - put faith in him.  He loves you and will protect you.

Answer 3

Your statement is a little general, without much specific information. It would be easy to say anything, but it may miss the mark.

Problems and conflicts are a part of life, and we grow by them. Read the first chapter of the epistle of James. Notice he has written not if, but when.

Maturity in the Christian life (I am assuming you are Christian) brings with it the ability to foresee the trouble, and the knowledge of how to pass it by. Also, by walking in the spirit, one can come through the problems and turmoils much stronger.

Answer 4

Well, it sounds like you are depressed. If you believe in god to church, if not I would go see your doctor or a psychiatrist for depression.

Answer 5

Maybe he is leading you to the point of brokenness:

Come to Jesus, and lay down all your burdens. You defenetly qualify to respond his invatation:

"Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest "(Matthew 11:28).

Answer 6

God is with you....try talking to Him. He will never leave you or forsake you. God Bless.

Answer 7

Are you born again?  That's first.  Trusting in Jesus means all of the time.  Not just when things are simple and going our way.

Basically, I think we aren't supposed to be self-focused at all.  There isn't anything in the New Testament that will support this thinking.  If we study the life of Christ and His disciples, we see they had to leave everything behind.  Including family and possessions.

When we want to realize the blessings of the Lord, we first have to recognize the worthlessness of everything we consider valuable here.  It is in our poverty that He gives us riches.  It is in our weakness that He gives us strength.

Let go of yourself and trust God.

Answer 8

This is something on you yourself can answer.  

What you should do is visit forums and look around at what people are saying, then form your own opinion.

Some people are happy without a deity watching over their shoulder, some people need a deity over their shoulder. No one call tell you what to believe, you must chose for yourself.

If anyone tells you that you should believe something and only that something they are not really looking out for you.

Answer 9

Proof that religion doesn't make you a happy person. Find a way to live your life without looking to others, look inside yourself for the strength to go on, not in a book.

Answer 10

The challenges you experience will make you stronger, not weaker. It may seem easier said than done but without conflict you can't know yourself and comprehend the moral lessons that you are exposed to. Good is right and bad is wrong and these behaviors may not make you popular in your direction, but being true to yourself is the most important value that you offer yourself.  

I read a post from someone who knows there are problems and wants answers.  "Give them to God".  Do what you know is right from day to day knowing with faith that God will make things right for you.  God's guidance will not fail you.  Listen with your head and your heart and take your strength back, never allow someone or something to weaken what you know to be right.  You are responsible and accountable for you, you are not responsible and accountable for the behavior of others, your association with others is by choice or chance and when disturbing you "stay faithful to yourself always".  Allow your own dreams and desires for better days to prevail on your mind and accept the blessings of your own good fortune. Be your own best friend and be kind and gentle with yourself.

Troubles will always find you, knowing how to combat them with your faith will keep you strong and at peace with yourself.  Don't give up sweetheart, you are capable of being a strong, powerful person and there are many of us fighting your battle with you everyday.  We all want better days ahead, loving, caring people with intergrity and courage to make a difference in our lives and in our society.

Peace Be Still
