Sometimes people who grew up in a religious family feel obligated to share family traditions and also be believers. Or some complex events in life give rise to a person's desire to believe in something global, to find a fulcrum for himself. In this regard, he has a question - how to find faith in God.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what you really want. The desire to believe in God in a person does not appear just like that. Perhaps you do not have enough meaning in life or a black streak has come and you are looking for something to rely on. Think about what you are missing and how you can fill this gap. Take concrete action.
Step 2
Decide what faith in God is for you. It can be understood in different ways in different religions. Someone sees God as a man in age, someone as a woman, someone considers him to be a universal mind, not expressed in human form. For some, a certain idea is formed as a result of reading religious literature, others adopt it from their confession.
Step 3
Try to shape your view of the world. How do you think it works? You can read all sorts of literature, but you don't have to believe other people's points of view. If someone claims something, this does not mean that he is right, regardless of his rank and authority. Listen to yourself - what is closer to you, what you believe and who do you think God is. Try to think independently.
Step 4
Remember, unbelief does not make you a bad person. And among the believers there are also people of a low moral standard. Try to live according to your conscience. Many of the religious precepts are indeed reasonable and humane, and you can stick to them if you like. Find a fulcrum within yourself, your own landmarks.
Step 5
Don't try to force yourself to believe in something. Most likely, it will not work or will be insincere. Faith may come in the process of life, or it may not. But this does not prevent you from knowing the world, during which you most likely will form some kind of ideas, about God as well.
Step 6
Explore the religions of the world and their sacred texts. Perhaps some of these pictures of the world will be close to you. But you do not have to adhere to absolutely all the tenets of one particular religion. After all, each of them was compiled by people, and they can be wrong.
