If you misappropriate a claim as axiomatic that is called a "prejudice" ... gotta get rid of those.
Look, I don't see where God needs to come in. If you face a crisis of truth, reason and logic will guide you to greater certainty. (Not perfect certainty, not absolute certainty, but greater certainty.)
If truth itself is the problem, then you're facing an existential crisis. Sartre says to create your own meaning at this point. But I like Albert Camus a bit more. As Camus explains, there are three ways out of an existential crisis: suicide, transcendence, or absurdity. Perhaps you seek God to transcend. Camus doesn't like this solution, but I think it has merit. Seems preferable to suicide anyway.
So which is the nature of your issue? Do you seek the truth? Or is truth itself the problem?
