When you are unsure what you believe
Faith & Doubt
Questions do not frighten God. Bring them into the light and examine Jesus carefully.

THE STRUGGLE
Some people come to Christianity with confidence; others arrive with objections, disappointment, or uncertainty. The Bible includes people who ask hard questions. Christian faith is not a demand to pretend certainty. It is an invitation to seek truth honestly and to consider the person and claims of Jesus.
READ THE WORD
Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
REFLECT
- What is my strongest objection or unanswered question?
- Am I willing to examine Jesus Himself rather than only my experiences with Christians?
A SIMPLE PRAYER
God, if I misunderstand You, correct me. If I am resisting what is true, expose it. Give me courage to seek honestly and follow truth wherever it leads. Amen.
