Well, I certainly believe that there is a God. I can understand that it is difficult to keep your faith strong when your own parents don't share the same faith as you. Keep in mind that Jesus can relate to what you are going through. When Jesus began His ministry His brothers laughed and scoffed at Him and thought He was out of His mind. His own family did not believe Him. When Jesus was taken away to be crucified, His disciples scattered and left Him. He was right there living, breathing, eating, and performing miracles right before their very eyes and yet they doubted and couldn't comprehend that Jesus was the Son of God. And here we are without the visible witness of God in the physical sense. But that is faith, trusting what we cannot see.
I struggle with SH and I know that I need God's help to get through this. SH is a BIG problem and I am just a small insignificant person but my God is BIG, He is BIGGer than my SH problems. God is never changing, the God who parted the Red Sea is the same God we pray to today. He rescued the Isrealites from Egypt and I believe He can rescue us from SH. There is sin in the world that we need to battle, but when Jesus dies on the cross He won the war of sin. Satan is ticked off because He has no power over us anymore, but Satan tries to put obstacles in our way to turn us away from our faith. Pray...be honest with God. Tell Him how you are feeling. Tell HIm that you are losing trust..He can handle it. Ask for Him to fill you with the Holy Spirit to renew your faith. Ask and you shall receive.
Hope this helps
