Parts 1: confident
1, distinguish between material and self-confidence. God is not a measurable scientific event, but an invisible existence that interferes with all your things. God is discovered by intuition, just like the sixth sense. Believe in God with your heart, not just your head. Understanding faith under this premise, you will find that believing in God is not to accumulate visible facts, but to know God through what God has done to you and others.
From a scientific point of view, it is almost impossible to believe in God. Because God is a spirit, not a body. God can't be measured by physical methods, but can only be perceived by intangible things similar to him, such as our emotions and hearts.
Think about everything you believe. For example, you might think the Oakland A's are the best team in Major League Baseball. But is there any physical evidence? Do you like Team A because their data are excellent? Do they have more championship rings? It is because they have some influence on you that you are fascinated by them. You like them is an emotional influence, personal and unmeasurable.
2. Replace evidence with trust. Self-confidence is a step out of trust. I decided to believe it without being completely sure, and I didn't care what would happen in the future. Trust does not only apply to believing in God. You do things with confidence every day. For example, if you order in a restaurant, you are also relying on confidence. This restaurant may be very popular and hygienic, but you didn't see how the food was cooked with your own eyes. You should "trust" the chef to wash his hands and believe that he will cook the food you eat responsibly.
You may not believe what you see. There are many things that science cannot measure, and people still believe. For example, astronomers can't see black holes, but according to the physical definition, all the light we see is swallowed up by black holes, so we believe it. But we can predict the existence of black holes by observing the motion of matter and the orbits of planets around them. Believing in God is a bit like believing in a black hole.
Think back to when your family was sick. Did you pray for him, or hoped that some higher power would make him recover? Maybe people are like stars moving, and God is a black hole, exerting influence on everything.
3, no longer control everything. All religions that believe in God believe that God is the creator of all things. Because the creator is God, only he can completely control everything. Giving up control of a certain aspect of your life doesn't mean that you are completely incompetent. God does not manipulate you as a puppet, but protects you like a parent. You are still creating your own life, but life doesn't always go according to your plan. At this time, the key is to remember that God is actually helping you.
Understand that you are not the omnipotent who controls everything. Don't be depressed. Some rehabilitation activities, such as abstinence meetings, are based on the premise that people can't control everything. I believe that a higher existence will make you trust yourself and restore the balance of your life. Once we admit that we can't control everything, we can accept what we can't control.
Peace prayer: "God, please give me peace and accept what I can't change;" Give me the courage to change what I can; Give me wisdom and let me know the difference. "There are some things you can change, and there are some things you can't. If you don't believe in God, you should also believe that a higher power dominates your life. This is the first step to believe in God.
Part II: Knowing God
1, come and worship God. Try going to a synagogue or Christian service. Listen to what the rabbi or priest is saying and see what this has to do with your life. Pastors usually give a speech called sermon, which talks about how to trust God in daily life. See if what he said has anything to do with your personal life. Although you don't know what the Bible says, you may have a feeling or a priest's opinion (for example, love your neighbor as yourself).
Don't worry, you're not a Christian or a Jew. Although you can't attend some activities, such as taking communion (bread represents Jesus' body), you can listen to the sermon at will. In fact, the pastor hopes that people who don't believe in God will be curious about God's word after listening to the sermon.
Church services are held on Sundays and usually last for more than an hour. The synagogue meeting is on Saturday. Believers are used to arriving on time and attending from beginning to end. Although it is not mandatory for people who go occasionally, it is best to do so.
Catholic Mass is generally formal and semi-formal. You must dress appropriately. You can also wear a collared shirt, formal trousers and a long skirt. Attitude must be respected; Don't use cell phones or chew gum during worship.
2. Talk to people who believe in God. If you have devout believers around you, talk to them and ask them why they believe in God so much. Ask questions. "Why do you believe in God?" "Why do you believe in God?" "Why should I believe in God?" These are questions that your friends can give you real answers. Be sure to respect each other, be curious, don't resist, don't spit.
The priest didn't just talk to you when he confessed. If you go to mass on weekends, you will have a chance to talk to them after the beginning or the end. A priest is a person who teaches the word of God, and he is willing to answer any questions you have about believing in God.
3. Try to pray. Many religions believe that a good relationship with God begins with regular communication with God. God probably won't answer you verbally, but there are many other signs that he heard your prayers. Prayer is especially important when you need it. Many people mistakenly believe that prayer is just a tool to satisfy their wishes. In fact, prayer is not to let God solve all your problems; Instead, ask him to help you and tide over the difficulties with you.
Maybe you have a difficult decision before you; Work or continue to study? Try to pray to God to guide you. See what you will choose and what will happen. Maybe things don't turn out the way you planned, so take this as another chance to pray. Don't think that a bad result means that God is gone, but that God answered your prayers in an unexpected way.
The Bible emphasizes many times that God's actions are inconceivable. Take God as a teacher and teach you important lessons in life, not only to give you answers, but to help you find answers. Think back to school and ask yourself, "Is the teacher just feeding mermaids?"? Or teach people to fish? " You should take things in life as "lessons", not just "answers".
Part III: Active Life
1, be a volunteer. Help those unfortunate people, such as volunteering in a mobile kitchen or helping with cooking. Believing in a higher existence is to change the self-centered attitude towards life. Helping others is a good opportunity to see yourself from another angle.
Being with unfortunate people can often make you cherish what you have but take for granted. Some basic things, such as having food and shelter and sleeping soundly, are luxuries for many people. These things can help you believe that God is taking care of you.
See how people who have nothing live wonderfully. Tony Melendez was born without arms. Recently, he played the guitar for Pope John Paul II with his feet. Thank God for what you have, so that you don't pay so much attention to what you don't have. Optimism is a stepping stone to believe in a higher life.
2. Do good deeds. Do some charity every day. Volunteers are selfless and generous, but don't ignore small things. Simply opening the door for others can make others feel good. There are also some small things, such as smiling, giving your seat to the old man on the bus, or saying "thank you" can bring you closer to God. Don't underestimate the influence of good deeds on your higher life.
Think of some good things that others have done to you, even people you don't know. Maybe you lost your mobile phone and someone else picked it up for you and returned it to you. Have you stopped to think about why this happened? Maybe this is the result of your prayer to God: "God, please help me in today's life."
Have you ever helped someone who said "God bless you"? Try to believe this sentence and become a part of your life. What if the good thing that happened to you was that God told you that he could hear your prayers?
Hint: Trust him. Do not give up. Believe that you will not be lonely. You don't have to believe in or join a certain religion to become a believer.
Don't give up confidence, because something will always appear and knock on your door. God also has his guarantee. "You look for him, you will find him. God's door is always open. " If god closes this door; Will you open another one?
This article only applies to the traditional individual God, presupposing the truth of God, thinking that God is necessary for human beings and that God has his purpose. Although different religions have different views on God, God transcends human existence, men and women, and both. God is greater than man?
If you have faith, stick to it, don't give up, don't stop believing. One day you will understand and feel that "you exist for a purpose". If you are still looking, you will find that there is a bigger purpose, which may be the last thing you expect.
If things seem desperate, stick to it. God knows the purpose of your life!
If the person you love dies, you will ask, "Why?" ? "Why did they die?" ? "Why am I still alive?" ? Don't stop asking questions. You will know the answer then. At that time, please remember that you live by faith, not by sight, until God thinks you are ready to accept the answer. Is to believe in God.
Everything in life, every path you choose, has a reason. You can write it down and walk on it. Take it out later and look back at the road you have traveled. You knew how to take the old road from the first step. It's a straight road.
Many people say "seeing is believing", but God may not be so. If you say "I am a Christian", but you don't really believe in God, please confirm what Christian faith is and make sure that your relationship with God comes from your sincere seeking and confident acceptance of him. Jesus said, "When you see me, you see the Father." God is influencing, intervening and interfering (but not forcing), but your reason can know the truth, why life is free, logic (not a robot) and feelings (not numbness). Well-designed rationality and control of body, feeling and emotion all point to an orderly, purposeful (not random) result and retribution sooner or later.
You build confidence by trusting a higher being, but it doesn't come naturally. You don't wake up, brush your teeth and say, "Today I want to believe in God, and today I want to have confidence." Only when you need it, when you seek it, will God appear.

Understand the personal testimony of those who believe in God, such as how God saved them and changed them. Look at these examples, how they discovered the real existence of God: Aru and Rita.
It's no big deal to warn others that they usually won't support your beliefs. You should respect other people's beliefs, which is a personal choice. At your own risk.
