I’m having trouble being at peace with the Lord. I’m constantly doubting and praying for a revelation to make me have utter belief in him, but I have received none. I want to believe in God to the fullest extent, but I’m not sure how to hand myself over.
 
Humbly ask the Lord to reveal himself to you in your everday life .Read Sacred Scripture, pray to the Holy Spirit to fill your heart with a desire to love him and stay very close to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Say a prayer each morning to give Jesus every aspect of your life and day. Give Him your will to do as he pleases. Also try and remember to say Jesus I love you often through the day, or ask Him to save the dying and relieve the suffering souls in purgatory. When you do these things regularly you will begin to feel a part of the communion of the saints. Don’t give up and don’t despair. It is a test. We live in very difficult times and Satan wants us to give up trying. We mustn’t. We are in a battle, but we know who wins. Cling to the Sacraments.
I will pray for you.
God Bless

Read your statement again. You’ll find your answer staring you right in the face. I can see it right there in black and white myself! 👍

God bless and much peace!

All I can say is that ‘faith’ is believing what you cannot touch, see, hear or prove. And Jesus said Himself ‘blessed are those who have not seen but believe’. Most of my family either has cancer or have died of cancer. My neighbors think I’m nuts in believing there is a God. I say 'oh yes there is, and he loves us on both sides of eternity. Do you remember when you were a child and believed in Santa clause? Be like that about The Lord, just be childlike and believe. Look around you and see His gifts and blessings, like astounding sunsets, the smell of flowers, the love you feel for your spouse, or pet. That is God. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the wisdom to recognize God and ask Saint Michael the archangel to protect you because it seems like the enemy is trying to make you doubtful. I will say a prayer for you too.
 
i strongly recommend “prayer for beginners by peter kreeft”… i picked it up at my local parish for 5 dollars and it has changed my relationship with god through prayer and on the faith…it will help you alot
 
Saw this thread and I am the same!

It can be very hard to tune in and have a strong belief at times.

With me it can be doubts. Things I read about the church like how thousands of Christians were martyred and god stood there and let it happen! How could a loving God allow that?

I read about different lost gospels and what they contained. Too much info and too many train tracks to follow!

I ache to love God 100 % and know the true path.

I know I should believe 100% in what the church says and writes but that is very hard for me to do!

How can a loving wife – allow her husband to sacrifice for love of her - to bear great pains etc – out of love for her? It is for love that the martyrs accepted martyrdom - of a life that is but a short few years. It was met with the love of God who fills them with happiness and joy beyond our imagination and will give them (and us) glorified bodies at the resurrection --where there will be no more tears but complete joy

I read about different lost gospels and what they contained. Too much info and too many train tracks to follow!
Good cause they are wrong tracks to go down -they are erroneous Gospels that say weird things like women have to become men before they go to Heaven

I ache to love God 100 % and know the true path.
Yes let us love God with all our hearts and minds and life! But knowing that on this pilgrimage our love is slowly being purified – it will not be perfect within our particular capacity until we see God in heaven after any purification of by his love…but let us seek and walk in love and grow in love…and the Catholic Faith is the “true path” – In Jesus of Nazareth is true life. As to personal vocations etc – one seeks and one finds…it may take some time but even the seeking is helpful

I know I should believe 100% in what the church says and writes but that is very hard for me to do!
Great things often (usually!) involve difficulties-- let give our YES! and follow —it is “faith seeking understanding” …

Yosef, you really don’t need to pray for a special revelation, just pray that you do his will.
Ask him to show you what you are missing, that you are not seeing, that he wants you to know and accept.

Also thank him for the hard time you are having and that you will offer this hardship to his most blessed heart for the impropriaties that people offend him with; blasphemies, cursing, lukwarmness, indifference, and not caring.

Ask him only how to make you understand how to love him more.

Just some thoughts.​

“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive honor and glory. Worthy are the ones who believe to receive the goodness of God.” (hymn)
 
" Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and **show myself to them.”

Great response!
 
"Let go

and let God"

In other words ask God to heal your doubts by the holy Spirit.
