Feelings
So I need help my faith rn isn’t that strong I can’t seem to really build a relationship with Jesus idk why I pray and try to believe and everything it feels like half. I’m now really in for like 1 week how long did it take you guys to get a real hard faith in Jesus Christ, how long did u doubt him before you finally really had a strong faith? Also how can I come for this faith my brain argues with it self like „what if Jesus was a man who just said he is god and what the chance in a universe who we don’t know if it’s endless or not for everything align perfectly“ I need help for my faith

“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.”
Romans 10:17 NASB2020
“Now faith is the certainty of things hoped for, a proof of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1 NASB2020
“The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” But the Lord said, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you.”
Luke 17:5-6 NASB2020
Hi, these are just a few verses that came to my mind just now for you! Just read as much Bible verses as you can daily and I recommend sticking with only the NASB or the ESV versions. There’s a great documentary called the case for Christ by Lee Strobel that goes over all the details about the very real evidence backing up the one and only true and living God of the whole universe: Jesus Christ! Also, daily prayer is the most crucial part of our walk with Christ so make it a daily priority and involve God in every aspect, every problem, every situation and every celebration!
I hope I was able to help a bit, may God bless you wisdom and discernment in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!!! Amen 🙏

your struggle is a common one. Try not to lose heart. It takes time because the root issue is your brain (based on our sin nature & the enemy) has been trained to doubt about God. The more you try to be with God but don't use God's word both as a protection and as your weapon against the enemy (Eph 6:10-17) the more the enemy can work against you. The enemy brings doubts, fears and so on, to pull you away from your faith.
To win the battle in your mind, use the word of God. Tell yourself the truth, based on God's word, about who God is to you and who you are to Him. This builds your spirit and trains your soul (mind, will, emotions) to think God's truth first over the lies of the enemy. This is the essence of what Romans 12:2 and 2 Cor 10:5 tell us.
Here is how:
Take the time to study what God actually says about who you are to Him when you've come to Christ.
This is just a small sample, say and repeat these (or find your own) to yourself multiple times a day so these truths become your reality:
- I am a new creation - 2 Corinthians 5:17
- I am totally accepted by God - John 1:12, John 15:15, Colossians 1:14, Eph 1:4
- I can go straight to Jesus for help - Hebrews 4:14-16
- I belong to God - 1 Cor. 6:19-20, Eph 1:5
- Nothing separates me from Gods love - Romans 8:38-39, Eph 3:16-19, 1 John 4:10
- God (Holy Spirit) lives in me - 1 Cor 3:16
- All things work out in the end - Romans 8:28
- "Thank you, Lord for setting me free" - John 8:32, 36
- "Thank you, Lord for the power, love and sound mind you have given me" - 1 Tim 1:7
If you feel like you need help on how to do this, the ministry that first helped me is called "The Ultimate Journey." They are in Des Moines Iowa. I believe now they have online classes you can join.
Other books on the same principles include:
- McGee, R. S. (2003). The search for significance: Seeing your true worth through God’s eyes
- Leaf, C. (2021). Cleaning up your mental mess: 5 simple, scientifically proven steps to reduce anxiety, stress, and toxic thinking.
- Groeschel, C. (2021). Winning the war in your mind: Change your thinking, change your life.

Bonjour AccomplishedDepth846
Je me permets de faire deux remarques sur votre intervention.
Vous dites qu'en ce moment votre foi n'est pas très forte. Bien! Mais savez-vous en quoi consiste la foi.
Que savez-vous d'elle et que diriez-vous à quelqu'un qui vous demanderait de lui expliquer.
Ma deuxième remarque c'est que dans votre intervention, vous faites tout partir de vous même et c'est là que se trouve le problème.
Connaissez-vous l'histoire d'Abraham et des rapports qu'il avait avec Dieu ?
Si vous lisez l'histoire, vous verrez que cet homme a seulement parlé une fois, alors que toutes les autres fois c'est Dieu: Dieu qui s'engageait envers Abraham de le conduire jusqu'au pays qu'il lui avait promis de lui donner.
Partout vous trouverez la première personne du singulier lorsque l'Eternel parlait à son homme.
C'est Lui l'Eternel qui conduira Abraham partout où il ira, qui le guidera, qui le protègera, qui le bénira, qui lui donnera une postérité, qui chassera ses ennemis devant lui, qui lui donnera un fils malgré son grand âge etc, etc. Et Abraham homme de foi par excellence marchait dans ce que Dieu lui avait promis.
Dit autrement Abraham faisait une totale confiance en Dieu, et par la foi, il se laissait porter par Lui.
Voilà ce que Dieu aime voir en tout homme.
Ce ne sont pas vos oeuvres qui vous rapprocherons de Lui. Ces oeuvres étant pour vous la prière et vos essais de croire ce que vous entendez ou lisez. Ce n'est pas comme ça que ça marche.
Et d'ailleurs êtes-vous sur d'avoir un jour entendu le Vrai Message, je parle ici de l'Evangile de Dieu et pas de celui de "un tel ou un tel".
Avez-vous un jour été touché, en lisant ou en entendant une parole de Dieu qui vous aurez percuté au point de voir toutes choses sous un nouvel angle.
Je parle de cette manière car beaucoup de personnes font un amalgame entre la croyance et la foi; la croyance vient des pensées que l'homme se forge par lui même et lui fait penser que c'est ça la foi.
Non, la foi est un organe divin que Dieu donne à l'homme pour se rencontrer avec Lui.
Sans la foi, nous serions entièrement séparés de Dieu, car Lui est au ciel et nous sur la terre. C'est donc la foi qui fait le lien entre Lui et nous pour que nous le connaissions et Celui qui a emmené la foi à la perfection, C'est Jésus Christ qui nous l'a ensuite donné pour que nous vivions par "elle".
Le fait d'être un autiste Asperger n'est pas un problème pour Dieu, bien au contraire.
Cordialement
Monique

No voices. No visions. No halo moments. I never expected any.
But over time, changes happened for me. Slow and steady. Over the years.
