Show Notes:

God can handle our doubt & disbelief. He knows we are human and prone to doubt. He doesn’t grow tired or needs a break from us or our problems.

Mark 9:14-29 Jesus Heals a Boy Possessed By an Impure Spirit

“ ‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes. Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

Mark 9:23-24 NIV

• The definition of doubt is “to lack confidence, to consider unlikely.”

How can we battle doubt in our relationship with God?

• Learn who God is and build a relationship with Him. Fill your mind with his promises.
• “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ” (Romans 10:17).
• The more we learn about the Lord the more our faith increases.
• Prayer stops doubt. God hears our prayers. When our prayers align with God's plan it will come to fruition. Luke 11:9-13
• We can stand firm on the promises of the Lord.
• “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.” James 1:6-7 NIV

Every human has limitations intellectually - therefore, our concept of the totality of the world, eternity, and God’s plan is hard for us to understand. It is impossible to grasp fully without the word of God.

Doubt comes from our sin nature: we trust in our own understanding—> doubt, which is a destroyer of life. Contrarily, faith is trusting God even when his plan goes against our reasoning & understanding.
