    Invest some of your time and resources into knowing God better. Create a margin in your day to invest in reading and memorizing Scripture, meditation, prayer, or journaling. Know that a Christian should “pray without ceasing.” Begin your day with focused prayer and take breaks throughout the day to speak directly to God in prayer.

    For many people, faith is a huge part of their identity. However, there are many things that make up a person’s identity, and faith is just one of them. You can also be defined by things like your personality, your values (aside from those specific to your faith), your cultural background, and your interests.

  • Question
    How do we know if what we have asked God for is in accordance to His will?
    Community Answer
    Sometimes it's hard to know for sure. You search the Scripture, see what God's word has to say about the matter (if anything directly). You ask God for what you think is in His will, always with the caveat that "not my will, but Yours be done." Then you wait and watch to see what He does.

  • Question
    How can I overcome my sins?
    Community Answer
    It is impossible for humans to avoid sinning, but that doesn't mean that you can't overcome your sins. To do this, you must first recognize and admit that you have sinned. Ask God for forgiveness, and work on yourself so that you do not keep repeating your sins.
  • Question
    Why would people say I don't have enough faith when I have a disabled child who I have prayed for a lot over the years?
    Community Answer
    Who is saying this to you? It's no one else's business how much faith you do or do not have. You don't have to prove anything to anyone - that is between you and God. Anyone who would judge you or say something negative about your faith is not following the teachings of Jesus. Ignore them.
  • Question

  • Question
    I want to go to private school, but it's too expensive. How do I ask God to help get me there?
    Community Answer
    You should just ask God to help you find a way to attend if that's where you're meant to go. If you aren't able to find a way to pay for the tuition, then maybe that's God's way of telling you that He has another path for you.

  • Question
    How do I keep my Christian faith despite all the suffering in the world?
    Community Answer
    As long as Christianity has existed, scholars and believers have debated that very question. Some have argued that faith by definition must be given blindly. In other words, the presence of suffering tests your faith, and it is up to you to keep your faith despite the tests. Others have responded by giving up their faith. Talk to your friends and elders about this problem. You may find that others have asked themselves the same question, and their answers may help you.
  • Question
    I have this doubting spirit on how to trust God and have faith in Jesus. How do I overcome it?
    Trojanhorse
    Community Answer
    Remember that just because you doubt, you shouldn't give up. Pray to overcome your doubt, read scriptures, listen to spiritual music, like hymns. Study more about whatever you are doubting and pray for more knowledge about it until you understand it. If you attend church, as your priest or pastor for advice. As long as you are seeking Christ, He will be there for you.

  • Question
    Why does the devil continue to attack me after being saved?
    Community Answer
    You don't have to worry about the devil as Jesus will fight him in the last battle with the beast. We are always attacked by the devil because we are doing God's will. The more we fear and sin, the more the devil wins. Try to fight your demons and fail the devil. God will strengthen you and reward you for it.

  • Question
    How do I forgive the person who murdered my brother?
    Community Answer
    Forgiveness is for God to decide. As humans, you are not expected to "be okay" with the murder of your brother. The event has already destroyed your brother's life, don't let it destroy your own. All you can ask is for the strength not to hate the person who did it and for the strength to move forward.
  • Question

  • Question
    How do I believe in God with all my heart?
    Community Answer
    You can't find faith in a book, on television, or in a church. Real faith comes from closing your eyes, and just feeling. Think about who you are, where you came from, where you belong, and who you belong with. Asking yourself these questions is the beginning of faith.

  • Question
    How do I see past my doubts and have stronger faith?
    Community Answer
    Know that it is not humanly possible to understand everything about God, and focus on the things you can understand about God: His love for you, His will as revealed in scripture regarding how you are to live your life, for starters. Plug into a community of faith, if you aren't connected to one already, as prayer and fellowship are crucial for strengthening you in your faith.
  • Question
    I have lost my friendship with my childhood friend due to some issues, will God give the friendship back to me? Will He forgive me for what I have done?
    Jenny22i15
    Community Answer
    He may not give them back to you, but you can pray and ask him to. Just know that whatever he does is in your best interest. If you genuinely repent, and try your best to remain free of sin going forward, you will be forgiven.
  • Question
    How can I overcome my sins?
    Community Answer
    The best thing you can do is sincerely pray to God. Tell him the problem (sin) you are dealing with, and open your heart. Pray for His help and guidance in your life. Another thing you can try to do is stay away from that sin in ALL aspects of your life. For example, if you curse a lot, don’t listen to music with a lot of cursing or be around people who curse too much. That can help a lot.
  • Question
    I gave my life to God last year. I love my friends and family, how do I persuade them to follow Christ?

    Don't persuade them. Lead a good Christian life and thereby set a good example. They will notice your inner peace, faith and fulfillment and ask themselves, "Can I have that inner bliss, too?" When they approach you, be supportive and lead them to God.
