Lately I have become aware that the secret, if it be called a secret, to faith is understanding that faith is a gift from God. We cannot make ourselves believe. God gives us everything, including the insight of faith. The only thing we humans need do is accept God's grace.
People who work at believing in God are doomed to fail. I know; I worked at it for years, and had little to show for my efforts. Those who seek belief must prepare their souls to accept belief. This we do though quiet, moral living and through prayer or contemplation with a quiet mind. We must divest ourselves of the empty desires of this world, and realize that the physical pleasures of living, while good, are incomplete. Once we understand that we are incomplete in and of ourselves we can look to God and wait for the light to pour in.
