yes i do believe in Him, in this kind of world my only hope to a better future and to achieve my full Happiness is when I get to know Him through His word, the Bible..though there are trials that test our faith in Him but i am just amazed every time He proves to me that He is real, you will feel His peace and His love and you know you're uplifted by His words and promises to you... i am thankful everyday for His unfailing love.. and i also enjoy praising and worshiping Him..having a personal relationship with Him is a great experience! glory to God, His name be praised forever... i am just concerned to all those people who doesn't believe in Him, just open your heart for God is just waiting for you to surrender your life to him, that you may enjoy His presence in your life and surely, your days will be better if not the best! pray and talk to him sincerely,if you just allow Him,you will never get lost again and you will live a life full of happiness and joy..your life will never be the same again..trust him and love him with all of your heart and mind...happy journey in knowing Him....

I though about what you wrote. Personnally, I do not believe in God and when I read "having a relationship with Him", I don't know how to get in touch with him. However, I respect what you believe. Everyone has differnt opinions and faith.

@ musikaLorA: thank you for sharing your experience. I don't mind at all. Although I don't believe, I still find it interesting. Maybe one day i will change my mind. I must say that I admire your courage and respect. Alot of the comments here are negative and unrespectful. I live in Canada and I think it's a wonderful place because people are really open minded on what they believe or not. I have two friends who are christians and we do talk about religions sometimes. I don't want to be ignorant too :) thank your for sharing @ rainie30: Actually, I though about it this morning. My boyfriend told me about a horror movie about someone being possessed. I think that I do believe in something like that although I've never seen one. However, if I believe in demons, this means that I must believe in god because it has a connection to it. Enough of my rambling! I meant that I don't know how to start a relationship with god. But in order to do so, I have to believe in him first right? thank you for your input.

I'm not sure if you mean you dont know how to start a relationship with God, or if you mean you can only have relationships with someone you can physically see with your own eyes. If it's the first, open your heart to Him. Talk to him, He hears everything and He will guide you as soon as you show a willingness to let Him be in your life. If it's the second, I pray someone will enter your life who will open your heart for you, for this. I dont mean this in a negative way at all, it's actually the most beautiful thing that can happen. Once you do, you will be amazed at the changes around you.

i also respect what you believe in right now... i just want to share to you some of my experience i hope you don't mind.. when i've heard before about having a relationship with Him, at first i was a little confused because we don't see Him,how can it be? i thought it's hard..but as the urge inside me keeps bothering my mind, He allowed me to understand that He can be my friend, so when i pray, i just talk to Him about anything, at first it is a little awkward because i am not used to do that but He understands everything i feel,and little by little i believe that I felt His presence, i enjoy constant talk with him, then i learn to seek His words through the Bible..God bless you!

before i felt a little that way too,, i just want to share a little of what i have learned i hope it would be okay for you, what i did then was to pray, pray in a way that i was talking to a friend, being myself telling everything i want to know and specially about my confusion about Him,is he really true,i wanted so much to feel his presence...but it was not answered to me overnight i guess we must start with a little faith, believing in the unseen,believing in Him...then slowly but surely he will be our best friend...just believe..let's believe

You may not agree with me. But do you know that God wants to be in our life and he will be there only if the conditions are right. You will have problems as all of us do else life would be a big bore and it is at that time God waits to be invited. First and foremost we need to believe in Him which unfortunately you do not. How can you expect then that He will come to your rescue?

I do believe in JESUS... All HIS promises based in BIBLE, i do believe... But i don't know why, i often disappointing HIM... Perhaps because the dark side keep shadowing me and i just can't run from or hide from it... It's disturbing... Everytime i pray for protection, after that i made a SIN... Well i guess i just be as i be everyday...

thanx for your response bloggership.. believing Him takes a big step.. and not all people are willing to that.. but you take your chance to believe in Jesus, and through that you are blessed... don't worry about your past if it keeps shadowing you, because God said in His word in John 1:9, "He will remember your sins, no more.." just confess to Him and let Him be your personal Lord and Savior.. happy mylotting...

i don't have to answer the believe part with too much words cause i am ready to die for the creator of all things,this is the part that would make sense to answer how will i know god,u know god when u start connecting with the universal side of u more the side known as soul,to make that kind of connection is gonna take spiritual practices not religious,religious practices only takes u part way of the journey spiritual practices takes u to the fullness of the soul connection,now let me not stray the masses whom are reading this there are many different kind of spiritual practices that does not connect u with soul only with spirit,connecting with the spirit is only connecting with the psychic side of the universe,spirit and soul are not the same,i am in spiritual practices and i am warned not to get too deeply involved with my psychic side,it can cause danger to my unfoldment of connecting with soul,and i totally understand y,the psychic side brings forth the spirits with their powers distracting u to develop your powers so they can have u as a channel to feed energies to and from the spiritual worlds,blocking you from going higher with your true connection to soul,soul is the master soul is the key to knowing god,so when u start connecting with soul u will know god and connect with the creator also,may the blessings be

I do believe in God. Although i dunno it exist or not. It just a way to relief myself from trouble. I will ask for help, and i believe where is the problem, there will be a way. Belief could stabilize our thought, strengthen our mind, calm down from angry mood.So when i'm in trouble, i will pray for solution. I'll do right things. I always think that God give me happiness in my life. God Bless You :)

Being of the baptist faith, my life is centered around the Lord. I know God through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who lets me know what God wants me to do in my life. By the way, this of course is based on faith, however I have had the Lord provide for me in so many different ways. He is also great on giving feedback. Many people would simply say coincidence. That word is not in my vocabulary. Everything does happen for a reason.

agree,,,everything happens for a reason and all things work together for good,, Holy Spirit and Christ centered life is very empowering, let's keep up our faith in Him..God Bless you..

I believe in God most strongly. My mother does Pooja every morning and lights the lamp, morning and evening and burns incense. When she does that even if I am feeling depressed about something my mood lightens and I feel relaxed and secure as if there is some holy power ruling the universe that cares for us and brings bliss into our life. Besides that believing in God gives me an inner strength that those who don't believe are deprived of. I know two people who do not believe in God and both of them are mentally disturbed. I believe God saves us from harm and gives the the 'wisdom' to walk on the right path if we are going the wrong way and helpes us to take the right decisions in our life.

yeah, he will let us calm down and change our lonely mood,and give us inner strength..like a strong fire from within that never burns out...

It is useless if you trust him love him praise then you don't mention his name you must say it in the word's that he is Jehovah God that is his name because he appreciate and answered you prayer if you use him in your life instead you say GOD you say Jehovah GOD.
• Philippines

i respect your opinion about His name,thanks for reminding! i just remember one of the stories in the bible that says in exodus 3:14, "I am who I am".. i think what matters most is that we believe in the same Jehovah God, He, God that I am referring to...;)

We often talk about providence which for me it is nothing but the presence of God. I was totally amazed at the way I was taken care of when I met with a serious accidednt when everything fell in place and I recovered from it which surprised everybody. It had to be God's way as my family was not around.

God, the master of all. How can one say, they came from nothing. Ever since science originated, this has become a pretty big debate which would never come to an end until and unless people have an open heart to listen to the true whispers of God from within. This is a personal experience to be experienced by anyone. As you can feel air so you can feel Him for sure until you realize His need and have an open heart to believe His existence. And the answer for the first question is obvious from my response. Just give Him a chance, you'll get a new meaning for "LIFE".

wow! i totally agree! open heart and you'll get a new meaning for Life... cuz you'll know it from within...;)

I believe in God even if I'm not that religious. I believe that He is going to helps us in our problems and He going to guide us. There's a time that I questioned Him because of the problems that I've been through but I realized that it is his way to makes us strong and put our trust to Him.

You may be surprised to know that Jesus doesn't like religion. He said the religous leaders of his day was like the blind leading the blind, we have a lot of that today still. He was very precise on what it takes to be able to go and be with God in John 14:6.

I truly believe in God and believed that there is God. Since i was a kid i knew that God is existing though i cant see Him but i can feel his real presence in my life. I knew him when i started joining some other children through a Sunday School Class and in those times i have so many questions about God. Then the Bible was introduced as the living word of God. Learning about his words and his unending love for people even to those who are wicked. God is really great and powerful because He did not allow Satan to overpower this world. Our world today is full of sufferings even our lives we encounter different problems and trials and yet God is there to enlighten and empower us through his divine love and mercy for us. If we only follow and obey his law we will have a peaceful and harmonious world to live in.... For those who are in struggle to believe in God try to open your hearts and mind and surrender yourself to Him and he will direct your life...

believing in god is a matter of faith,and if you dont believe in god it does not mean that god does not exist.it simply means that you dont believe in faith,he who has faith does not need proof,faith is lack of proof and i believe in god logically,to what i have seen in this world,God seems definite and inevitable,when i ponder the rules of universe,knowing what is right and what is wrong,and the value behind life,faith is believing or or a knowing does not need proof.

yeah faith plays a big role in our first step in knowing Him...faith that needs NO proof of anything...then if we learn it then comes our hope and then we learn to LoVE Him...
