The experience of losing your faith, or of having lost it, is an
experience that in the long run belongs to faith; or at least it
can belong to faith if faith is still valuable to you, and it
must be or you would not have written me about this. I don?t
know how the kind of faith required of a Christian living in the
20th century can be at all if it is not grounded on this
experience that you are having right now of unbelief. "Lord, I
believe; help my unbelief" is the most natural and most human
and most agonizing prayer in the gospels, and I think it is the
foundation prayer of faith.
- Flannery O'Connor
