Struggling in Faith

I realized a while ago that I have been coasting in my faith, to the point of neglecting my relationship with God. Now, I find that there is more doubt and fear than belief. I think the faith I had before was more what people (family, etc.) gave me, not my own. But I am really struggling to build my own faith, my own relationship with God.

Without that strong foundation at the center of my life, I feel somewhat lost. To fulfill my calling as a firefighter and to serve others, I need Christ at the center of my life, for strength to go beyond what I alone can do... but I'm struggling to find Him.

I would appreciate any advice, personal stories, or scriptures any of you might have... if nothing else, please pray for me.

Permalink Reply by Kendra Eastwood on September 10, 2009 at 3:21pm: I'm in the same struggle you are in. Trying to find Faith in this world today is a struggle. I am reaching out to Christ everyday to find my place with Him. I help others because it's what I love to do. Plus I feel that it's my calling in life to help others. I have no advice for you. All you can do is stay strong in your Faith and I will be praying for you. God Bless you!; ▶ Reply to This
