Encouragement Devotion: Encouragement for Seasons of Doubt
Doubt is an Invitation to Draw Closer
Doubt can feel unsettling. It can make you question your faith, wonder if God hears you, or struggle to trust His promises. But here’s an important truth: Doubt does not mean your faith has failed.
Even the strongest believers experience doubt at times. The presence of doubt does not mean the absence of faith. In fact, doubt can be an invitation to draw closer to God—to seek Him, wrestle with questions, and discover His faithfulness in a deeper way.
When doubts arise, don’t run from God—run to Him. He is not afraid of your questions, your uncertainty, or your struggles. He welcomes you with open arms, ready to strengthen your faith, remind you of His truth, and meet you where you are.
Even when you don’t have all the answers, trust that God is still who He says He is, and He will not let go of you.
