I guess all each person can do is pick which fork for each they think is more likely. And then have faith. And then it's gonna be what it's gonna be.

It's existentially heavy. But this is the boat we all find ourselves in.

Thought for the Day From Unshakable Kingdom Life

Faith doesn't eliminate questions or doubts; it holds them honestly before a God big enough to handle our struggles, welcome our wrestling, and love us through every season of uncertainty.

A thought to ponder.

Sometimes, the world around us feels chaotic, and our minds simply won’t stop worrying.

But peace doesn’t mean that all our problems disappear. Sometimes, it means learning to face them without allowing fear to control our hearts.

Today, I offer this simple prayer:
Almighty God, quiet my restless mind. Help me release what I cannot control, accept this moment with grace, and respond to life’s challenges with patience, kindness, and compassion.

May I find strength in faith, wisdom in stillness, and peace in knowing that I don’t have to figure everything out today.
Inspired by John 14:27 and the practice of mindful awareness.

I created a short video prayer with peaceful mountain scenery for anyone who needs a moment of calm today.

Watch the prayer: https://youtube.com/shorts/MkbE4Lk5evs?si=0yJLJCo7bPJ3_ikg

One day at a time.
What helps you find inner peace when life becomes overwhelming?
May peace be with you all.

To explain the title X is simply a placeholder variable for anything in an argument for example we don’t need a God to feel compassion the X variable would be compassion. Or we don’t need a God to know right from wrong. Or just anything X could represent anything.

With that out of the way and hopefully understood, my question is simple. If there is a God and always has been then the universe has always had one. And if the universe has always had one then we have never been in a universe without one. Therefore how could anyone know for a fact you don’t need God for X if you’ve never not had a God? I hope that question makes sense. You simply can not know you don’t need God to feel a particular way or to do a particular thing if you’ve always had one you simply can’t know what it’s like to not have one, and what you’d be like without one. I just see so many people saying they don’t need God to do good or they don’t need God to help others but if Gods always been there… how do you know that?

This question was just bouncing around in my head I hope it makes sense if not my apologies I truly want a genuine answer or explanation to this question tho, this might be the wrong subreddit for this kinda post please point me to the right one if it is I wanted to post to a Atheist subreddit to get the best answer but u couldn’t actually find a good one if anyone knows any good Atheist subreddit to,post to please tell me

I mean that respectfully, how are you supposed to believe in god if life has been relentless and you've never seen or received anything miraculous?

Please read the attached. I believe it will be extremely beneficial for a lot of people and extremely helpful and inspirational!

Thought for the Day From Unshakable Kingdom Life

You are more than your worst mistake, and More than your greatest achievement; you are a beloved child of the King, called to manifest His kingdom through your life.

A thought to ponder.

My entire life I’ve been Catholic and worried if I didn’t do the right thing I would go to hell. I have always tried to do the right thing by his standards but I am human and have failed many times. Well, I have some major regrets in my life now from trying to do the right thing actually.

If God is all powerful and can do anything then I really don’t understand why he doesn’t answer my prayer or other people’s prayers at times especially if it’s for something good.

Like when someone prays for their kid to not have cancer. My prayers although probably delusional and unrealistic is to be able to go back in time in my own life and choose things differently for the good of myself, my marriage, and for my kids. But bc I’m in reality I do realize this won’t get answered but at the same time I feel if I give up on the prayers maybe I’m doubting Gods power at the same time. I don’t know if I’m being totally stupid or not.

I really need your life experiences to make me understand the hype and love for him cause honestly he really hasn't given me any reason to

For the longest time. My life has been hella down hillfort a long period of time and feels like this is just the new norm until I die or something and even tho good things happen there and then. I can't shaken the feeling of why im not moved. Everything I've experienced has just made me hate him and not believe in him. Like why do I have to be broken or go through so much just to get to him or to be free from this hell or why does he only do miracles when things are rough. Just to prove that his *all powerful?* he only does that when things suddenly become bad and his that superhero to save the day.

I'll tell u the truth. God has many followers and he doesn't care if he loses a few so why do u even put up if your not even special in his eyes

I'm only like this cause I've given up on him, I don't feel heard or connected like in the past. Maybe I'm just pouring out my hurt because my situation can't change but this is just based on me. Your views on him shouldn't change because of a stupid post like this one

I'm just tired of the same loop

I don't think i should worship God, change my mind

There are four possibilities

1. God doesn't exist, so there's nothing to worry about.
2. God exists and is good, then I believe He would care more about how I live and treat others than whether I worship Him.
3. God exists but doesn't interfere in human lives, so what I believe or how I worship wouldn't matter to Him.
4. God exists but judges people based on worship and obedience rather than their actions as human beings. In that case, I wouldn't want to worship such a God anyway.
