Member topic: Does faith in God indeed help? - Page 2

It's a simple Math. If we have faith in God, we will feel motivated to get things done which seem difficult, faith keeps encouraging us to move forward. It gives us hope aur ummeed pe hi toh duniya kaayam hai, dost. :)

I am not much religious. But Faith gives me strength. Positive energy.

At many junctures in life, I have prayed to God Hanuman and it gave me positivity to march ahead and a belief that he is there and will always protect me and my family!
In stress, I always chant Hanuman Chalisa. It’s my happy place.

Yes, there is God and prayers do get answered. ❤️

But faith is something one needs to practice and experience him/herself. Because it's human nature to question everything that one doesn't know or doesn't understand. Yes, listening to others experience can motivate you, but you need to walk the path yourself for the real experience.

Science tells us that all this is random. Random Quarks, Neutrons, Electrons made bonds & created all kinds of matter & then later microorganisms, Plants and larger creatures. But then you realize that OUR Science is in such an infantile state. We haven't even fully discovered our planet yet, less than 1% of our own solar system, less than .00001% of our galaxy. With trillions of solar systems & billions of galaxies....the truth is we don't know Sh*t. Now you add in other parameters like more dimensions than we are aware of and science might as well be "faith" as well.

I believe there is a Super-power. Call it whatever you want. I don't think that super-power is interested in your existence. Faith helps in giving you "Peace of mind"....that's pretty much it. Knowing someone way more powerful has your back. They're called "Man" tras for a reason. That said while Religion came from a good place it has been corrupted in Mans greed for power.

Meditation, Nature, Music or any other form of spirituality will help in you finding peace & healing yourself more than any religion will IMO.

Also, all this means nothing....because just like science & religious Gurus, I don't know Sh*t either. It's just theories. So believe whatever comes organically to you. It's called "Faith" for a reason.

Not all prayers get answered. Ofcourse, we can console ourselves by thinking that it is for our best that the prayers remained unanswered, but in some situations, it is easier said than done.

And yes, there has been a situation in my life where I felt enveloped by something powerful and felt protected. It felt AMAZING! It gave me immense courage to handle the dire situation our family was in.

the worst of life is when you feel completely isolated in your struggle …be it health, career or relationship struggle …we can’t always have our parents and friends and spouses around …and they are human beings too dealing with their own struggle …to expect them to be your support system always might not be realistic …

In times like those, having faith does get you through and gives u guidance to do the right thing …

Not as much as other things .

I do believe.

Yes it helps.

It also answers your reason for existence.

I am not an avid believer but the peace of mind one gets knowing someone or something is looking out for you when no one is. When you are suffering or in immense pain, that belief of yours pulls you out from that unpleasing situation.

As humans we always want to depend on someone and GOD is an eternity in which humans believe .

If you put your mind to something , I think one can overcome any situation or inner battles but as always this dependency makes humans weak , since GOD has no relation with this materialistic world we connect with him more than earthly relations we come across in life. The fact that we can go up to him and vent out everything without being feared.

I don't think humans can do this with anyone except GOD. He is for all and all is for Him.

I am looking to dive into spirituality , the process is complex and needs alot of learning . Talking about spiritual aspect (pls don't mix up with any religion)

Spirituality is a unique concept , has it flaws but one must understand where to draw the line and line need not to be blurred .
