Spiritual Doubt
My friends, be glad, even if you have a lot of trouble. You know that you learn to endure by having your faith tested. But you must learn to endure everything, so that you will be completely mature and not lacking in anything.
James 1:2-4 CEV
Many of us experience a spiritual drought. We find ourselves in a wilderness of doubt and lack of concern. Nothing seems to go the way we want and at those times, we really do not care. We question if God even pays attention; all we hear is our own thoughts and desires.
Having a relationship with God is necessary in our daily walk. We cannot live without the nourishment of the Word. The Bread of life, living word, and spiritual truth, will deter all our doubt, ask God for the living water. Being in darkness will bring uncertainty and unbelief; we need to open our eyes to the light. Be still and hear the voice of all truth, we tend to become deaf to the TRUTH and self-righteous with worldly excuses, as to feelings of right and wrong.
When in reality that sense and or feeling, was given to us, so that we would choose the Path that has been set for us. It is our choice to make, for God has given us the power of choice, for with in that right lies our spiritual fulfillment, or life of doubt and the lack of satisfaction. Those are the times of great need for opening your heart and soul, and letting the true light of life transform you and direct you. Allow the unconditional love of our Heavenly Father shine with in, and deeply touch your heart.
We are and always will be growing and learning for his purpose not our own, and in those times of trials we may feel alone. Be assured we are not alone, when we feel like giving up there is a helping hand always there. Let yourself be lead, by faith, and belief in things not seen, for it is then when you will hear the voice of God.
