Wrestling with Doubt
Wrestling with Doubt
When John the Baptist sent word to Jesus from prison, he asked a painfully honest question: “Are you the one, or should we look for another?” (Luke 7:20)
I understand that question.
I’ve wrestled with doubt too, especially in seasons when my faith was wounded, and life didn’t look the way I believed it should. Like John, I wasn’t questioning who Jesus claimed to be so much as trying to make sense of what I was living through.
What helped me overcome doubt was this: I couldn’t deny what Jesus had already done in my life.
Even in my wounded faith, Jesus met me.
He transformed me.
He carried me when I didn’t have the strength to carry myself.
Doubt didn’t disappear because I found perfect answers. It loosened its grip because Jesus was already too real in my story to walk away from.
If you’re wrestling with doubt today, especially with a wounded faith, you’re not alone. Jesus does not shame honest questions. He gently points us back to what he has already been doing, even when it’s hard to see.
