A Question of Faith

What happens
When I've lost all faith?
When everything I once believed in has turned so cold?
When did my prayers turn so robotic and forced
And seem to have lost all meaning?
When did my sprituality become hollow
Empty?
I wish I never was abused by religion
Then maybe I wouldn't question my beliefs
Tell me
Does prayer work?
Do you find comfort in your faith?
Is there a heaven and life after death?
And please tell me that I'll find my heaven
My faith
My salvation

Author notes

Free open religion discussion. Just no bashing of others religions and no forcing of your beliefs onto others. I want to learn not be converted. Yes this true I have been questioning my faith lately. I seem to be in kind of a dark spot, but am finding my way out. This was written in July. If you want to know my story on being abused by religion then read my poem Dan. Thank you and am looking forward to learning about different view points.

    Yes, I agree that with who0187 that God's idea of faith has nothing to do with religion, but more so with having a personal relationship with Him. That starts with prayer and trusting Him that He will bless you. And, yes, it can be difficult to stay in a straight path, but that's the only place where I've ever found peace in my life. Well written and a great poem to arouse discussion. Hope you find your way!

    this is very sad, but God is not religion, you are filled with the holy spirit, I believe that prayer works, you are unique to God so pray in your unique way. believe in way that you are comfortable with. there are so many paths to God and you possess the way. your relationship with God should not be effected by one person or a religion it is between you and God. a very beautiful poem. is there heaven and life after death. don't ever stop looking. God bless
