I'm not religious, but I do go to a Catholic school and I love the idea of faith. I don't know how to explain it but my life feels like it is lacking something and these last 3 years at my hs I have come to realize that I'm lacking faith. The problem is that I just don't know what to believe.
I understand! I felt this way for years, like I longed for something but didn’t know what. Start by sending out a prayer, “God, please allow me to see your heart, and help me to have faith. Allow your Holy Spirit to work in me.”
@itsclary-ix1ny there are actually parts of the brain that are evolved to have faith as a survival strategy. If you think your life is lacking something I highly recommend looking into science and spirituality merging a lot of religions give you simple answers and don't want you to question any further, the science and spirituality encourage you to question deeply and to ponder, not to just dive headfirst into something without understanding it.
I did something similar a bit over a year ago, when my life was turned upside down. I know I scroll when I'm bored- and I get bored easily, but I don't like to do nothing and I need to learn to relax and calm my system and I know I would greatly benefit from it. But I did go through who I follow and deleted sooo many, don't have tiktok or twitter, but only pages I can learn from or feel positivity from, church related or travel related who I follow. I feel so much more a peace and not following things that there's no positivity gain from. only really listen to older music, not good at keeping up with so much of new media as it doesn't bring lasting joy. living scriptures is a great app for christian content, and you can have scriptures on your phone with lds library
I haven't listened to music in year's, once in awhile I'll listen to some Christian music, but most of the times I'm listening to Christian sermons on the radio
What you put into your mind, body, and soul is vital to a healthy life. That includes the media you watch and hear. You are what you surround yourself with.
@@LifeAsMegan indeed, but completely blocking out anything that disagrees with what you believe in, will create a a huge blindspot in your perception. I try to view the world from every angle, and look at everyone's perspective in their own way of seeing it, without my bias being attached to it. To remain objective, not subjective. That way I can have a truly open mind, remain curious, and I don't ever get too attached to one belief system because there's a chance that it could be incorrect. Cults commonly tell you to completely remove anything from your life that doesn't fit into their narrow narrative, so that you don't ever question what they are programming you to think like and to believe.
I Find My Self most Mornings getting up. Around Midnight each day. (Pacific time). (Still on My Graveyard Pastry Chef work Schedule) And after getting some Coffee Started. And Picking up My Bible and just Open it up and begin reading. What a Blessing it is to do that.
