For most people, especially the younger generation and the intellectuals, they tend to reduce faith to reason. They need explanations to be logical and scientific in order for them to come to believe in the existence of God. It is not wrong of course, to seek rational proofs. That is part of our formation of faith as well. Faith and reason are not contradictory. Nevertheless reason alone, whilst not impossible, cannot bring one to faith. Faith needs reason, but faith is beyond reason. Faith is therefore reasonable, but not reasoned. Reason establishes the credibility for faith.
Having said that, faith also requires the grace of God who is at work in all those who are open and sincere in trying to seek Him. Do not be discouraged in your search for God. Continue to seek Him, but most importantly, ask for the gift of faith so that you may encounter Him in a way that transcends reason.

Can I mute a Telegram group?
In recent times, Telegram has gained a lot of popularity because of the controversy over WhatsApp’s new privacy policy. In January 2021, Telegram was the most downloaded app worldwide and crossed 500 million monthly active users. And with so many active users on the app, people might get messages in bulk from a group or a channel that can be a little irritating. So to get rid of the same, you can mute groups, chats, and channels on Telegram just like WhatsApp. You can mute notifications for one hour, eight hours, or two days, or you can disable notifications forever.
