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 …

🤗❤️ exactly my words

We need someone to rely on. Listen to us in times like these. Tho one should always seek out in happiness in sorrow in life struggles but humans are complex and they only worry wrath and destruction and that is when they begin seeking out but that is not how I think we should be believing faith.

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.

Prayers in general are not to be answered. The fact that we pray and believe and know that by praying we can overcome anything is so POWERFUL. Just by trusting God , we in return trust ourselves and the process makes us immune to sufferings. I am still struggling but time is the biggest healer and the trust , which I am putting above all is itself GREAT AND HELPS ME HEAL TOO.

I do believe.

Yes it helps.

It also answers your reason for existence.

I beg to disagree , I still think I often wonder the sole purpose of existence. This is one deep rooted psychological puzzle which I can't solve . I can believe that GOD is the reason for my existence but there is alot hidden when it comes to life , the purpose of life and the creation .

To my knowledge , the discussions I have had , no answers were given to me as itself is a confusing and thought provoking topic.

Same. I don’t remember the full chalisa so I listen to it instead whenever I am distressed and it gives me so much positive energy ❤️

Positivity is one key aspect which helps the believers stay motivated in keeping their faiths alive. ❤️

The vibe and energy constantly push forwards and channelise thoughts into actions.

Like I said, it's easier said than done.

Right now, my faith is shaken, so trusting in God has been difficult.

Where I am now, all that I can say is that I'm grateful for the many things that I've been blessed with. That is all.

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.

First things first.

I think it should not be debatable whether GOD is there or not because for believers GOD exists and for non believers it doesn't.

The faith by which we move ahead develops from within and to some extent from our surroundings.

Someone who is not familiar with the concept of faith and believe would say its unbelievable because they have been unaware of things happening around them all the time.

That's when they begin questioning and some out of curiosity understand the basic concept of faith and others being ignorant shrug it off but once in a lifetime that moment surely comes when one seeks answer to - Why?

Why me? Why this ?

So even if someone is ignorant towards the idea , the moment and the path will surely follow its footsteps :))

Sorry for the long comment. The topic is so intriguing.

Yes!! But I do hope that you and me both have a time when we say we did it , when we said its easier said than done , we went through that difficult process by trusting ourselves with our faith.

🤗 In lives , we do have strengths around us ( blessings in disguise) .

Praying for you , ( for the hard times to get eventually better and then best)

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.

Couldn't agree more , beautifully explained.

It did nothing for me except being gaslighted.

Thanks atominis for coming up with this post. 🤗
