I am in college, and I have started to question God’s existence because there are so many different ways of thinking that I am being exposed to. I think that maybe this is a good thing, and God is guiding me and I’m growing up. Anyway, I’m starting to have doubts, and I really need to explore why I am Catholic. Please pray for me because I think this may be a tough time for me. Thank you.
 
Lord Jesus, please guide this young person’s heart to accept the fullness of your love. Keep him safe from harm, and continue to guide his life. Amen
 
Sometimes you’re closer to god after testing your belief system, there is even a bible passage about the issue.
 
Please make time to continue to study and learn the Catholic faith. Read the Catechism and the Bible and the Church Fathers. Study the lives of the Saints. It is at this very juncture of a young persons life that many stop learning the Catholic faith in pursuit of learning other things. Always make room for God in your life. There are many who will try and lead you away and test your faith in God. By you even posting this, in your heart you know the answer. Yes, studying the faith, at this time in your life, when time is at a premium, is not easy. I understand. Make this an integral part of your day, just as much as eating a meal. You will soon find that there is no way you can question if God is there for you! I will keep you in my prayers G1j.
 
College is a trumultuous time. Like you during University, I’ve had doubts and eventually subcumbed to agnosticism (with aetheist leanings) for years because I was not catechized. I will pray for you to have strength of faith and for you understand all the evidence the has been presented to you.
 
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!

St. John Bosco, pray for us!
St. Joseph, pray for us!
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!
Blessed Trinity, Three in One, have mercy on us!
Amen.
 
Act of Faith:

O my God, I firmly believe that You are one God in three divine Persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe that Your divine Son became man and died for our sins and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches because You have revealed them who are eternal truth and wisdom, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. In this faith I intend to live and die. Amen.:gopray:

Prayer and study are two important things. While I will say a prayer for you I also encourage you to study more about the reasonable proofs of the existence of God. If I were you I would start with Peter Kreeft audio files and then try to read some of his books or books by Scott Hahn. They are solid orthodox philosophers and apologists.
 
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 death.
Amen.
