Questions of Faith

A Scripture-rooted answer

All questions

Is it normal to have doubts about my faith?

By Matthew (Tolu) Olowoyeye

Scripture

Mark 9:24

Yes — and some of the godliest people in Scripture wrestled with doubt. John the Baptist, from prison, sent to ask whether Jesus really was the Messiah. Thomas refused to believe until he saw. David poured out raw questions in the Psalms. Doubt is not the opposite of faith; unbelief is. Doubt is faith asking questions, and Jesus never shamed an honest question. There is a difference between doubt that seeks answers and doubt that seeks excuses. The first draws near and asks; the second drifts away and stops asking. Bring your doubts into the light — to God, to mature believers, to good books — rather than letting them fester in isolation. Often doubt is not even intellectual; it grows in seasons of tiredness, loneliness, or unconfessed sin. Tend to your whole life — rest, community, repentance — and you may find the fog lifts. Scripture: — “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” Take this step: Write your biggest doubt down in one sentence. Then take it to one trusted, mature Christian this month and ask them to think it through with you.

Prayer

Father, thank You for meeting me in my questions. Give me wisdom to understand Your truth, faith to trust You where I cannot yet see, and grace to walk it out today. Anchor my heart in Mark 9:24. In Jesus' name, amen.
