Hi, 

I am a born Sikh, but the problem Is that my faith on sikhi is wavering. I keep thinking of other religions, like Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. I think it's the fear of hell. I don't know how to explain to but I think its seeing other people of other faiths being so confident in their religion unlike me with sikhi. Any help would be good, I don't like that I feel like this. 

As GurjantGnostic mentioned, you have to go directly to the source, the fountain of bliss that is ever flowing, Naam.

Just start with a simple mindful practice of 10-15 minutes daily. Cut off distractions, focus your mind, and ask for His Divine Grace of Naam. Chant Satnam. Chant Waheguru. Listen. Feel.

If you've tried other paths before coming to Sikhi, it sort of is a blessing in disguise since you can clearly see where the grass is green.

The abrahamic faiths are in survival mode, academically.  People display confidence in their racial/cultural accomplishments; don't mistake this for religious pride. Abrahamics  are having to reinvent themselves, hide their truths constantly to survive modernity.

Read books on great Gursikhs and Saints.

hi mate

try to read Gurbani and Sikhi code of conduct.

read stuff and Guru Ji's history and try to know the reasons behind it. like Langar meaning and purpose of it and helping others etc. staying with reht mariyada.

most of the things we do in sikhism are very straightforward and they make sense as soon as you start to read and doing them.

Try to understand Sikhi philosophy.

You can do.that 2 ways: read gurbani with english meanings so you can understand it. 

And read sikh history especially about great gursikhs who have lived sikh philosophy. 

I am telling you this truthfully,  no other religion has a great history or philosophy as Sikhi. Sometimes, I too get enticed by other religions, because having grown up with Sikhi, it seems mundane. But other religions look good from the outside but are khokhle, hollow and i have to come back to sikhi. 

Come on, what other religion advocated for gender equality, freedom of religion and condemned slavery? And advocated for meditation and vegetarian? All the things modern ppl are rediscovering? Yes Hinduism fits the bill for most of these but they had serious issues.

Anyways check out basics of sikhi youtube channel.  I think you would enjoy his debates with other religions and his street parchaar.

Also google and read about sikh converts. Their zeal may inspire you. 

And read books by great sikh writers. Most are available in English.  Writers like bhai veer singh,  karam singh historian.  Bhai randheer singh.  Bhai Ranbir singh. All of their books are available in English free online.  Just Google.
