After discussing how we get in to doubt, Pastor Waid now gives us the keys on how to get out of doubt. This may sound trite and quip, but it is what we are to do and when we do it, it works! We are to accept God's plan for our life and then ask for wisdom to deal with it. This means we do not seek what we think or want, or what others who are less mature have to say; rather, we are to seek God and His Word to give us the knowledge to grow and to get through. God assures us that when we seek Him, He will respond.
When we ask for help and wisdom, Christ will give it to us! The key is to ask-in faith. Be in prayer and be trusting and faithful. This shows a confidence in God's power that without a doubt, He is there and He will help. For, if we doubt, we will not have confidence, and we will be tossed, by our struggles, to the point that they may drown us.
What You Will Hear
We must seek the help of wisdom, not just knowledge and information
James tells us to ask God. It comes down to what life is about, and life is about pleasing God, not pleasing one's self.
The promise of God through faith.
Doubts should not derail us unless the Holy Spirit is telling us we are going in the wrong direction.
We can choose not to be bitter and rather be better.
The key is to learn to take your life and your surroundings as they are, and then strive to build them to what they can be for His glory, not just as you want. God will not make your decisions for you; you need to seek His precepts and distill what is best for the sake of value and character; then, He will enable you to form and grow from it.
