For about a month I’ve been struggling with doubts. I keep teetering on the edge of believing full on, and not knowing. It breaks my heart the thought of no God, and it’s an option I will NOT accept! I’ve been in constant prayer. I even found 4 christian music radio stations which I listen to nonstop. I even found and started attending a catholic group for young adults.(I’m 23) (I’ve been searching for years for something like this!) I even attended stations of the Cross last Friday, and plan on doing so every Friday during Lent. During Fasting I realized that we really don’t need food. Bread doesn’t satisfy. Only God satisfies.

But the thoughts keep coming back. I know that Satan is attacking me, and that through all this my faith is going to grow stronger than ever before! (I even asked God before any of this happened, to help me become more holy) but I’m struggling. Then when I’m in a state of believing God, Other bad things will creep into mind. Such as, the recent "What if The Jews are right, and the One true God is not in fact 3 persons, but Just his 1ness. Since the Jews don’t accept Jesus because he didn’t fulfill all their prophecies. (which should actually be fulfilled in the second coming) and that What if Satan pretended to be the messiah in order to deceive the world. I never understood Jesus’ answer to the pharisees when they said “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.” Jesus’ answer was “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls.” I don’t understand Jesus’ answer. The most effective evil plan is Controlled opposition.

Then I read about inconsistencies about some biblical events. Among other things.

I know that Satan is a liar, and that Christianity is the truth. But I just feel that my soul is in danger, and that Satan is doing all he can to keep me from Jesus. I also know that God is tearing me down to build me back up. If I didn’t initially doubt, I never would have found that young adult group (which I know will lead to great things in the future) and I wouldn’t have been striving for God so hard. I pray, and I cry, and I feel like my soul is tearing apart. I have been living in darkness for about a month even though I have been striving for the light. Please pray for me!
 
Lord, please finish the good work you have already begun in Bryan. Keep purifying and pruning him until her grows perfected in faith, hope and charity. And please give him strength, perseverance, deep faith, surrender to your holy will and abandonment to your divine providence. He knows that you are trying his faith for his own good, please help him to always remember this. Satan can not win over Bryan if Bryan keeps his heart fixed on you, so please help him not to get overwhelmed or distracted by fears and doubts. May he be abandoned to your merciful love full of confidence in your merciful love. Please help him to dismiss every doubt as soon as they enter his mind, and help him to make acts of faith when doubts come to him (eg. Jesus, I trust in you! … or… Jesus, I believe, help my unbelief.) If Bryan weren’t yours Satan would not trouble him, please help Bryan to always remain faithful to you. Mother Mary, please intercede for Bryan and protect him under your mantle of love and purity. Please make your intentions in this matter come true. Amen.
 
I am praying for you, Bryan. The enemy never wants to lose a soul; rebuke him in the name of Jesus Christ. Get a Rosary and pray to Our Lady whenever you have these confusing thoughts. She will help calm your mind.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
 
Our Father, which art in Heaven
Hollowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On earth as it is in Heaven

Give us this day, our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us

Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus

Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our deaths
Amen

Oh my Jesus
Forgive us our sins
Save us from the fires of hell
And lead all souls to Heaven
Especially those in most need of thy mercy
Amen

Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death
Amen.

St. Jude, pray for us!

Read up on the Uncaused Cause Theory. Whenever I have doubts about the existence of God, I think back to that theory, and I see that existence without God isn’t really possible.
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
