What to Do When You're Doubting Your Faith

Doubt has scared the church for a long time. It should not. Some of the most faithful people in Scripture asked the hardest questions. John the Baptist, from prison, sent word to ask Jesus if He was really the one. Thomas would not believe without touching the wounds. The father in Mark 9 said the most honest prayer in the Bible.

'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief.' Both things are true at once. He believes enough to ask. He is honest enough to admit the gap. Jesus does not rebuke him. Jesus heals his son anyway.

If you are in a doubting season, you are not losing your faith. You are working it. The God who is real does not flinch at your hardest questions. Bring them. Honest doubt, prayed out, has built more lasting faith than easy certainty ever has.
