Fear and Faith

The Lord is active.
I have been praying for greater faith. It seems that this is the area that I fight with the most. It is the fear of whether God exist at all. I have no doubt that christianity is it. My reason is very simple. It is the only religion known to me that offers salvation freely through grace alone. What does this mean? Simply that the most horrible individual in humanly terms can enter haven if they simply seek God through faith in His son Jesus Christ and believe that Christ paid the pentaly for him on the cross. NO GOOD WORKS NEEDED. Every other religion of the world (as far as I know) is based on a system of do xyz and God will be so pleased that He will grant you entrance in His kingdom.

This part is easy for me to get. The hard part is basic faith in the exsistance of God. The ironic thing about this is that Faith is defined in His word as “the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.” To me... that means that what ever I am looking for to help me with my doubts... does not exist. In the end of the day I must just have...blind faith.
