1 John 3:24- And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the spirit which he gave us.
well this is a touchy subject for me and I hope this helps you like it helped me:)
is it just me but do any of you struggle with doubts? in my spiritual walk with Christ… Many times I doubt. I doubt- his love and even sometimes his existence. I am a strong BELIEVER, but sometimes the devil tempts me- like he might do to you.
I always will get really bothered by this topic for the fact that it gives me the biggest pit in my stomach. It makes me sick thinking about it. Why? Because I feel as if I am trying to turn away from my God. And I am not… but that is what it can do to you. Doubts/the Devil can mess with you.
But at DNow 2017, when I was struggling terribly with doubts and feeling alone, I talked to my previous youth pastor and told him about my doubts… So? So I was relieved… he told me that everyone (including him- a youth pastor) has them. He told me that he has the same exact issues. He said that forever we will deal with that. He told me as long as when I am going through them I don’t shut God out or stop praying to find him again, then I would get through it.
But when you feel lost or have that pit in your stomach.. you are not alone. Don’t lose sight of what you believe in because of stupid doubts.
I have to tell myself this every week, day, minute, and second. It is hard to stay so strong when you go through things. If you are struggling to believe in him… Well here is proof that God is real.
In 1 John 3:24- it says that we know God is with us by the spirit he gave us. The Holy Spirit. That voice that tells us when something is right or wrong. That voice that tells you to grow closer and to trust God. That is the Holy Spirit.
So if you are ever struggling with doubts… WHICH IS PERFECTLY OKAY. Know that the voice in your head or pit in your stomach(the Holy Spirit) shows you that you truely believe and that he is truely real.
God is always with us. Even when we feel as if we are the only ones in the world- alone and lost. He is with us. You are never alone:)
