Fortunatly i attend a christian university, although at times it doesnt always seem that way! lol! anyways i just wanted to say that to me it sounds like the people you have talked to do not know what to say to you and have just given you cop-out answers because they are to afraid to tell you that they DONT know what to tell you! im not saying i hvae the answers either. but what i do know is that a lot of times when i felt like God wasnt with me, or wasnt helping me i was just to wrapped up in myself to realize he was right beside me, hes not going to show up in some magnificent way, he will be in the small quite things, just like with Elijah, God didnt come in the wond, or fire, or earthquake, he was in the still small voice, and some people interpret that to mean the sound of sheer silence. im not trying to really tell you anything except to look for God in the places you wouldnt expect him, in the ways you wouldnt think about, and most of all never give up! if you want something good to read about that may help some read the book of Job Zach Michelle, i am also a college student who has been raised in a Christian household.

However, being at college was a real eye opener and somewhere within the experience I began to doubt that God exists. I don't know what to do or how to stop myself from doubting. It's been six months and although I haven't been perfect (actually far from perfect) I have attempted reading the Bible one chapter a day for a while. Recently I started praying without yelling at God why he wasn't showing up and helping me with my disbelief. I asked my college pastor, who said she felt that God was going to draw me closer to him over the summer. Then over the summer I asked my mother, who I consider is a devoted Christian, and she said that this must be some sort of phase that I needed to get over. Therefore, I'm completely stuck. I pray and ask God if he would just help my disbelief or let me know he's really there. But nothing has happened and nothing is happening. I keep asking and listening to pastors preaching and try to do what they're saying. The truth be told is that I have no connection with God and I'm not stupid enough to believe that a relationship is a one way street. I'm running out of answers and just holding on to the slightest chance that may exist that God is out there, so what do I do? Since I was young, I grew up in the Christian faith.
