This is my first question on CFS.. but it's kind of loaded
I used to not believe, and am struggling now but have the desire to believe the following:
- God's individual love for me
- that God created the beauty of creation (I didn't believe this in college)
- that God does intervene in nature and in lives of people
I used to believe in a no-God world, where the laws of physics took over and defined everything. But I cried out to God one time in desperation of my life, and he put the desire to believe into me. But I am straining to believe everything God has created. My mind hurts and I am overwhelmed. I have deep depression and I just have to take it slowly I guess.
God has been working on the side help me with other details and the primal first thing that comes to mind, is it's coincidence. I have to really force myself to think about the fact that God is at work in my life.
Do you guys have any advice for someone who desires to believe in God's handiwork, but can't on a natural level? Most people I know, saved or not, believe in God's handiwork at least. I'm a new Christian, but struggle with it a lot. Any ideas?
