Are You Doubting Your Faith?

How do we overcome the doubts in our faith? When you are tempted to think to say “Am I in the right direction in having and living a Christian faith?” Is this a waste of time and waste of my life? My advice from my own experience, three: First, be patient in knowing and learning more about your Christian faith. That is the head level. Second, pray. Give more time for prayer. Do not stop praying. Because it is in prayer that we encounter and experience God in a personal and real way. That is the heart level.

Finally, turn your case to the examples of the saints and the good people in the Church. Be inpired by their life and example. Be inspired by their faith and by their love for the Lord and the people around them. That is the experience and life level.
