Hi guys!, We all do have faith in God, but the question is how strong? Most of us only have faith in Him because of the blessings that we have. but when in times of troubles, what do we do? we are the first to blame him. Then we ask the question why? Is it the things that we receives that measures our faith in God or in the challenges and troubles that we face. FAITH in Him is not measured on the positive things that we receive, it is on how much we believe in Him. how bout you guys? How strong your faith is when it comes to Him? Just throw your comments and let's see how strong your faith is.. Thanks guys and God bless!

Hi iiiisssseeee, My faith in God vary from time to time, situation to situation. There have been times when I began to reconsider the existence of God, after some tough times that have been thrown upon me. Other times, I truly do believe that there is a God out there, after experiencing some fortunate events. I believe faith cannot be measured with numbers but with the experiences we encounter, and the beliefs we take upon as we grow and mature.

thats a really good point that you bring up, some people usually believe in him or think they do in times where things are going the best for them and when thing's get tough they abandon that feeling and think the worst about life and about their faith. I don't think everybody has that feeling that is strong inside of them that God does exist. In this situation I would say to each his own, your not a bad person just if you don't have faith, you really can't control how you feel. I used to have such a strong faith, I completely believed with all my heart, through each horrible situation and through each good one, felt the love and existence of God. At this point in time I don't have that feeling anymore because it has just left me. Even though I don't have that unbelievable connection or love I do believe that it's possible that he exists, and I hope that doesn't mean that it's gone forever, and I hope I get it back.

i am a christian and i believe in God and Jesus Christ but as of right now my faith and trust in His is very weak (i hate to admit it) but it has been for about two months now my faith in God used to be very strong i used to pray to Him and thank Him every single day for giving me the love of my life but then because of circumstances that were out of mine and his hands we found out we could not be together i just could not understand why God would take someone that was so good for me someone that was drawing me closer to God out of my life i try not to blame God for our breaking up but with why we broke up it does seem like it was His fault i still love God i am just distant from him now

I know it should be but than I stop and think about all the crap that I have had to deal with and go through. All the pain and sorrow that he or she has thrown at me and I feel that why should I have faith after all the negative things he or she has brought me?!? I can't seem to catch a breather every time I turn around something else comes along that really makes me think what did I do to have to go through more, I feel like I'm drowning and everyone is just starring watching...

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For without faith it is impossible to please God. Yes, that is very true that most of us only have faith if received blessings from God but oftentimes we doubt the presence of God in times of problems. It should not be like that. Hopefully, the more we have problems in our life, the more we become closer to God. We need to be humble and submissive to Him that He is the only ONE who can help us. I would admit that I don't really have strong Faith in GOD, especially when I am in the midst of trials. Sometimes I can question God why this is happening to me but then I realized that trials are just ways to keep me strong and be closer to God. Sometimes, If I am in doubt, I always allowed God to give me peace to discern what is right and what is wrong especially in making big decisions. Faith makes a miracle. If you would pray, you need to have faith that God will answer your prayers. Faith can move mountain. Even a mustard seed of faith will make a difference in our lives. In a conclusion, I would say that because of my faith in Jesus Christ, the One who give His life for me, to die on the cross of calvary, to redeem me from the bondage of sins, that is why, because of my FAITH, I know that I will go to Heaven when I die.
