Doubt is destructive. It fills us with uncertainty, makes us"); document.writeln("indecisive, and affects our ability to walk with God. We know that doubt is at"); document.writeln("work when we find it difficult to believe that:

God always loves us. His love for us does not fluctuate with"); document.writeln("our behavior. We can be sure of this because, God demonstrates his own"); document.writeln("love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). That is amazing grace: God loves us, even though we rebel against"); document.writeln("Him.

That is why we should not let"); document.writeln("feelings determine whether something is true or not. The Word of God is true,"); document.writeln("saying, As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our"); document.writeln("transgressions from us (Psalm 103:12).

God has called us to serve Him. He often invites us to join"); document.writeln("in His work, but doubt could cause us, like Moses, to make excuses for not"); document.writeln("obeying (Exodus 4:10). However, God promises to provide us with what is"); document.writeln("necessary (Ephesians 2:10).

Suggested Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I ask your"); document.writeln("forgiveness because I often get carried away by doubt. Doubt limits my vision"); document.writeln("of what You can do in any situation, no matter how difficult it may seem. Help"); document.writeln("me to focus on what You have already done and what You are still doing, and not on"); document.writeln("what I can do. I pray that my faith in You will be greater than any doubt, in the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
