Struggling to believe in God

###, we hear your struggle and empathize with your journey. It's not uncommon to grapple with doubts and questions, especially when it comes to faith. The Bible tells us, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him" (Hebrews 11:6, WEB).

Firstly, let's address your questions. It's natural to wonder about God's origins, but God is beyond our full understanding. He reveals Himself to us through His Word and His creation. The Bible says, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1, WEB). God is eternal, with no beginning or end. As for why people go to hell, it's important to understand that God desires for all to be saved (2 Peter 3:9), but He also respects our free will. Hell is the result of rejecting God's love and salvation through Jesus Christ.

It's okay to not have all the answers. Faith is about trusting God even when we don't understand everything. Remember, "For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known" (1 Corinthians 13:12, WEB).

Let's pray together:

Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You with ###, asking for Your peace and guidance. Lord, she struggles with believing in You, and we ask that You reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way. Give her the faith she needs to trust in You, even when she doesn't have all the answers. Help her to understand that it's okay to not know everything, and that true faith comes from trusting You completely. Fill her with Your peace, Lord, and take away her anxiety. We pray that she would come to know You personally and experience the joy of salvation. In Your precious name, we pray. Amen.

###, we encourage you to seek God with an open heart. Read the Bible, pray, and surround yourself with people who can support you in your faith journey. Remember, "Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you" (Matthew 7:7, WEB). It's a promise from Jesus Himself. Cling to Him, and He will reveal Himself to you.

Does God give up on people who don’t believe eventually? I just feel like I’ve been trying to find him and believe for so long and it just seems like it’s too late. Is it too late?

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
