Can I have doubts and still believe?
Answer
Yes. Doubt is not the opposite of faith; it is often part of an honest faith growing up. Jesus welcomed doubters, Thomas among them, and never turned them away for asking. Bring your questions to God rather than away from him. Faith can hold doubt and still hold on.
“Mark 9:24” the Bible points here. Read more Scripture.
A prayer was here before you
You sit at the table, hands wrapped around a warm mug. Questions swirl like steam. The quiet of the night holds space for your doubts. You are seen. Even in your uncertainty, the light breaks through. Remember, hope often arrives in the spaces we least expect. Amen.
Someone in the family wrote this for whoever would one day read these words. You were thought of before you got here. If you want, a real person will pray with you, by name, at no cost and with no account. Ask them to pray with you.
Take the next step
You do not have to sort this out alone. On The Living Bread you can ask the family to pray with you, ask Simon anything about faith, read the Word, and find a church near you.
