I don't love quoting Peterson... However,

"I act as if God exists"

This is productive to me for two reasons. The relationship, if God exists, requires me to take responsibility for my side of the relationship. Dogmatic/ignorant belief allows Christians to self-deceive, utilizing cliches to mask their fears/uncertainty and ultimately act in ways that are antithetical to Christ.

Imo, feeling strongly about Jesus comes from the continual practice of questioning the uncertainty and often "taking the narrow path". Funny thing about the narrow path... It's always uncomfortable and (I think?) always (often?) strengthens a relationship with Christ.
