Its killing me :(

That doesn't mean I don't respect peoples views on it. But I grew up catholic, went to church, catholic schools, etc. I feel that most people that claim to be religious don't even remotely understand what their worshiping.

 

 

Unfortunately, you're right, at least in some cases. Many people probably follow the traditions of their family, or those around them, without thinking about the why, how, etc.

Why doesnt god make his presence known? Why doesnt he comfort us? Why doesnt he talk to us like in the bible?

 

I believed in god for a long time. When my ex was losing faith in god, i told him to trust god and his plans.

 

But now, it feels like all those are empty words. Im just convincing myself that he is there. Most of the time im just scared not to believe so i believe. I dont believe out of love. I used to, but now, i feel like i just deluded myself into thinking i love a being that i cant even feel the presence of.

 

Ive prayed, i cried, i asked him to atleast tell me he is there, make his presence known, fill my heart with god's love. But nothing. I sleep with 2 rosaries beside me, i pray and talk to god, i cried to him. But i dont even feel his presence.

 

Is he even there? Many people have cried out to him, many people are suffering. I thought he is full of love and mercy. Am i just kidsing myself?

 

Right now i feel like i have prayed to nothing.

 

 

Have you accepted that Jesus died for you? Have you asked for forgiveness for sins? Have you admitted your need for a Savior, daily? Do you look to other "saviors", that pollute the power of God (i.e. idolizing the Virgin Mary)?

 

 

If you haven't done the above, you won't know the power of God. I pray that you continue to seek God...it's worth it!
