Dealing with doubt?

[igator99]

Or better yet how to strengthen your faith? I’m plagued by faith and then doubt. Are there any prayers some of you would recommend when doubt hits?

 

[InLight247]

I suggest to get rid of doubt by seeking and responding to God’s grace.
Here are a few things you can do to receive grace in addition to attending Mass:

• Eucharist Adoration
• Confession
• Review God’s promises in the Scripture
• Pray the prayer of thanksgiving
• Pray the Rosary
• Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy
• Talk to a priest and receive his encouragement

God bless!

I agree with “InLight’s” suggestions. Especially, suggestion #1. Go and sit with Our dear Lord (the Blessed Sacrament), as often as possible. He is there… and He loves you, and wants to wrap you in His loving embrace (faith). God bless.

I struggle at times with my faith. I’m a bit of a ‘show me’ type of person. Hard evidence would be wonderful.

It also tends to bring about feelings of guilt when I doubt.

I realize that this is the way God created me and by doing so He also gave me a way to overcome my doubts.

For me it has been obedience. Even if I doubt, by showing obedience I am stating my belief.

Just show steadfast obedience and the faith will come.
