After so much history and scriptures study, my disbelief is starting to grow… 😦
I think I’m starting to become an Atheist.
Could someone please pray for me and for many others who are in a situation like mine, to find the Truth, and so that may God reveal Himself in an unambiguous way, as clearly as He did to Abraham?
Thank you all.
 
Some of us enjoy an " academic" study of the Bible while others of us find it disheartening. Praying for you 🙂
 
May God touch your heart, open your eyes and your mind to the wonders of His majesty.
 
Brother, I wish I had wise words for you in this trial. God reveals himself, unambiguously, to a microscopically small percentage of humanity. He has His reasons. So the rest of us need to draw on other resources in our walk, starting with His church and sacraments.

For me, life and reality make no sense without the God of Christianity. I relate to Peter in John 6:68:
63 'It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh has nothing to offer. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
64 ‘But there are some of you who do not believe.’ For Jesus knew from the outset who did not believe and who was to betray him.
65 He went on, ‘This is why I told you that no one could come to me except by the gift of the Father.’
66 After this, many of his disciples went away and accompanied him no more.
67 Then Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘What about you, do you want to go away too?’
68 Simon Peter answered,** ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the message of eternal life,**
69 and we believe; we have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.’
The word is truth and life. Something in my DNA just understands this when I hear His word, operating even outside of my intellect. I am astonished by scientific progress, but I would be lying to myself if I pretended it could answer fundamental questions pertaining to reality as I know it. But that’s me-- I don’t have anywhere else to go. I will pursue Him until my demise. I pray that the Lord will reach you in a way most appropriate for your hardwiring.

Dear Lord, your child, minichibi, is desperately searching for truth and connection to You. Holy Spirit, please pour down upon him. God of Abraham, please make Yourself known to him. Jesus, the word made flesh, please draw him close to You in a manner that will make it obvious to him that You are the Lord of Lords he is craving to serve in the deepest longings of his soul. Help him enter into a personal relationship with You that brings him peace, conviction and purpose. Do not let Your child slip from Your fingers into disbelief. I know You have loved him since You first gazed eyes upon him. Please confront him in some way during his moment of trial and bring Your lost sheep back to the flock. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for hearing our prayers. Amen!

I’m sorry to hear you’re thinking of becoming an Atheist. I believe sometimes that people become Atheists because they have not been shown by believers that God really exists. Sure, head knowledge (bible knowledge) of God is one thing but you’re probably searching for a revelation or “real experience” of Him as well.

The truth is that God does exist, but sometimes religion puts the cart before the horse. What I mean is, I think it’s more important that you first begin to see and believe that God loves you and when you start to see and believe that, you will want to find out and know more about Him (like reading the bible or books about God). It’s like being in a relationship for the first time. Once we discover our soul mate and realize that somebody likes us for who we are, we then start to reciprocate with the other person, trying to discover their likes and dislikes, all moving towards a committed relationship. And it’s the same way with God. Even, even though He is our creator, He wants nothing more than to have a real relationship with you. Out of all the works of His creation, man is His crowning achievement, having been created just “a little lower than the angels,” so highly exalted are we.

The truth is, God first loved you and that love is what is drawing you to search for Him in this life. God goes after each soul with a vengeance, so much that He was willing to give up His only Son in order that Jesus lead all men back to the Father. When you get it into your head that God Almighty, the creator of heaven and earth wants nothing more than a relationship with minichibi–it’s pretty mind blowing, to say the least.

I’m not saying the road’s going to be easy, but once you start going after God like He’s gone after you, you will find doors start opening–people will start coming into your life to help you draw nearer to God, reading the bible will be easier once your eyes “are opened” (the eyes of your heart) etc. Once your spirit is awakened too, you will begin getting impressions from the Holy Spirit whose job is to guide your spirit back to God.

Whatever happens, don’t ever give up on God, because you are worth more than you could ever imagine. Right now, our eyes and hearts are blinded by the god of this world (satan), but when we leave this earth, our eyes will be opened and we will see the truth that Jesus died for.

God bless you on your journey
 
Show me your ways, Lord,
teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you, Lord, are good.

Psalm 25: 4-7
 
Lord, may Minichibi know that Our Lord will not reveal Himself to him/her the way He did to Abraham because the Word has been made flesh and we now have the Scriptures. I pray that Minichibi deepens his/her devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who will help him/her to have the gift of faith, if he/she asks earnestlly for it and cooperates with actual grace. I pray that Minichibi prays to the Blessed Virgin Mary with great devotion and confidence; that he/she prays zealosuly and often for the gift of faith; and that he/she cooperates with every actual grace that comes his/her way. May the Blessed Virgin Mary shower down graces upon him/her and help him/her to pray as much as possible. May Minichibi know the necessity of prayer for having faith and for obtaining salvation. Amen.
 
if you don’t believe in God why are you asking everyone to pray to him for you?
