Faith may be a value that matters most to you. Yet, you may feel that you are not living up to it. You may believe that you are not deserving of God’s love. You may also think that your religion is too rigid, and may want to abandon it to find respite from uncertainty, anxiety, guilt, shame and other unpleasant emotions.

No matter how much you try to change how you feel and think, you may have noticed that you keep getting stuck with those emotions and thoughts.

Is your faith causing you to suffer?

On one side, you value faith; on the other side, it may be causing you emotional and mental pain.

Don’t despair. It is how you view your struggles that can make all the difference!
