More faith issues

So I'm trying to figure out if I have any faith anymore. I'm finding it sad that I don't even know if I do or not. It's hard to explain my standpoint. Do I even still believe in God?

These are just random questions I hope might help a bit to find out where the lack of faith comes from. I think it is good to dare to look at these things in the eye.

Do you need to believe in God? Who is the God you believe in/or don't believe in? Is there something about your view on God that needs to be updated? Some inner (or outer) conflict that makes you fear God does not exist?

Could it be that your idea of God is out of date with your spiritual development? Maybe there is need to find more than what God means to you now?

And the prayers. How do you see them? Are they your wishes? conversation with God? Conversation with your higher self? Tradition? Is there any other ways for you to connect with God? (Nature? Music? Dance? Singing? Dreaming?)

Is it all up to you? Do you need to be the one who believes? What about letting go for a while to see if Life still carries you? Try to find out how much there is fear in you and how much there is love. When you look at things, ponder about life issues, other people etc. try to find out if your reactions are out of fear or love.

*hugs*
