Have you ever doubted God’s existence? Why or why not?

I never doubted the existence of God. Even as a child, being raised by a single mom who claimed to be an atheist. I knew everything around me had to come from somewhere and I believed that to be God who had created all things. The crazy thing is I raised my children in the Church and taught them about God and one of them now claims to be an atheist. I’m believing they will become a believer just like my mom has. To God be all the Glory!

I was raised Southern Baptist and was baptized at a very young age, never doubting or even questioning His existence. That is, until my 30’s. I had been a very young mother so when my children were turning into teenagers, I was just turning 30. I missed out on my ‘”partying” phase so it was my time to have fun. I ignored church and turned my back on God. I never really doubted that He existed, I just didn’t think that He was all I had been taught. I had to find Him on my own. It took over a decade to bring me back but here I am!

I have not doubted God’s existence, but I think it’s in our nature as human beings to question and to reason out what we are being told.

I have read another responses and some were very touching. I have always wondered why God would let my father almost killed me? Why did my wife die because from a believer in God and telling me that there is no God when she just wanted to die, She could have been helped but she refused. She told me that if God was here, he wouldn’t let that happen. Hearing that, was devastating to me. All I could come up with, is that you need faith to exist and without it, you can’t live. I did not know what else I should have said. I know this. She was alone and gave up on God, I took care of her to the end. When my wife decided that she would rather die, then doctors and outside support couldn’t help her. A question that I have is, does God feel the same way and give up on a person, as well?

No, I have not. I can”f give a true perspective of God and how He governs my life. Why does he continue to keep letting me to continue the things that I should change? I-look at this in this manner. I know He gives me free will and the mind to make my own decisions. Even, if it can be harmful to me, still He will let me do it, Maybe,I just don”t have a good understanding of God, I can’t explain it and even if I try, I would be caught up in answers I couldn’t understand. This has nothing in whether I believe or not. I do believe because I look at our complex world and God had to create it. As complex that’ our world is, humans could not do it without God. That is the best answer that I can give.
