When Doubt Found Me Walking through hard seasons is never easy. Some moments in life hit so suddenly and so deeply that they leave you breathless. When pain comes like that, it doesn’t just hurt—it can shake your faith. I know, because I’ve been there. There was a time when my heart became heavy with questions. I didn’t want to feel bitter toward God, but I struggled to understand why He allowed something so heartbreaking to happen. I loved God… yet doubt slowly crept in. And before I realized it, that doubt began pulling me away from the closeness I once felt with Him. What I eventually learned is this: doubt often grows when we want answers more than we want surrender. I wanted God to align with my plans, my timeline, my understanding. When He didn’t, it left me confused and hurt. Left unchecked, that kind of doubt can quietly damage our relationship with God—and even affect our relationships with others. There came a point when I had to humble myself and admit where I was. I had to bring my doubt to God instead of hiding it from Him. For a long time, I couldn’t see any purpose in what I had lost. The pain didn’t make sense. The grief felt overwhelming. Doubt surrounded me, and I questioned everything. But years later—slowly and gently—God began to show me that even in what I didn’t understand, He had never left me.healing or condemn my questions. He understood that my heart was wounded, and He became the very place I could run to when my faith felt fragile. I’ve learned that when I take refuge in Him, He faithfully walks me through my doubts instead of abandoning me in them. Doubt is a lonely place to live—it drains your spirit and slowly weakens your connection with God. It really is a silent killer of the soul if we let it stay. Doubt doesn’t always come from rebellion. Sometimes it comes from pain. Sometimes it’s the only way we know how to cope when life doesn’t make sense. And sometimes, if we’re honest, it comes from pride—believing God owes us an explanation.
