Doubt has a way of isolating us from other believers. That’s
why when it comes to doubt, I think it’s helpful to realize you’re not alone.
In fact, some of the greatest men and women of the Bible experienced seasons of
doubt.
Many of you have commented lately that you are wrestlingwith feelings of doubt and discouragement in the area of faith. Some of youmention doubt casually as if it’s a companion you’ve always known. Others ofyou seem practically panicked when doubts hit you as if your faith has alwaysbeen rock solid and your doubts about God have caught you off guard. One of the most importantquestions to consider when it comes to doubt is, “Is doubt a sin?” Let’s seehow God’s Word answers that question.
What’s another reason why our prayers can sometimes be blocked? The Bible shows that clearly there is a connection between our relationships and the
effectiveness of our prayer lives.
A LYWB.com reader recently asked a great question.
“ Okay I kinda have a controversial question. Is it okay for Christians to drink alcohol as long as they don’t get drunk? Are there any verses that condemn drinking? I know there are some verses that condemn drunkenness but I don’t know if it’s bad or not to drink a few sips. I’m 15 and I don’t drink but someone at my church has a few drinks and doesn’t get drunk and I’m wondering if anyone out there has found any verses or anything about this topic.”
Have you ever prayed for healing that never came?
Have you ever faced a loss that didn’t make sense?
Have you ever desired to serve God but been denied the opportunity?
Have you ever been mad at God?
We wait for the passion to read God’s Word before we will get serious about reading it often. Maybe a better course of action would be to start reading the Bible regularly and watch what passion God uses His Word to create.
You can’t be the woman God made you to be without receiving regular doses of truth from His Word. Neither can I. So, I am committing to take a 30-day challenge and asking you to join me.
