Still do and still havnt had this “experience”, this awakening you infer
Just sheer determination to hold onto faith that seems elusive and to be honest, I understand why the bible calls to Christs followers to have faith in spite of the evidence
Not sure I'm understanding?
"this awakening you infer" I don't infer anything, there is links in the OP and also a pretty common experience and I also have it.
This thread shouldn't take away your faith or belief and I'm not attacking anything, trying to do the opposite.
"Just sheer determination to hold onto faith that seems elusive" Within Christianity there is certain rights or penitents you can perform if you want to "strengthen" your faith, go try it. Speak to priest. You can fast, or do re-enactment whatever....I don't really know much speak to someone from your faith.
You need to do it with 100% devotion, you need to mentally and physically push yourself and then magical things happen. Like you can't just skip one meal and say you fasted.
compassion, even when hope is lost
