Dealing With Doubts

Doubt is not a threat to faith. In many cases, it’s how faith matures. For some, doubt sneaks in quietly - during a sleepless night, a medical diagnosis, or an unanswered prayer. For others, it arrives like a wave - pushed forward by suffering, disillusionment, intellectual challenge, or cultural pressure. However it comes, it can leave you wondering whether your faith is broken… or whether it was ever real to begin with.

This book is written for you. It’s not a list of quick answers. It’s not a defence of religion or an attempt to silence your questions. It’s an invitation. An invitation to wrestle faithfully. To explore ten of the most difficult and commonly asked questions that Christians and spiritual seekers face - not from a distance, but from within the life of faith itself.

Here’s the central premise: doubt and devotion are not enemies. The pages of Scripture are filled with believers who questioned, struggled, lamented, and wrestled - and were still called faithful. Abraham questioned. Job raged. David wept. Jeremiah despaired. Thomas hesitated. Even Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?”

In these chapters, we’ll walk slowly through the most pressing questions people ask about God and faith. Why does a good God allow suffering? Why are prayers unanswered? Is science at odds with belief? What do I do with hypocrisy in the Church? Why does God sometimes seem so hidden? How can the Bible be trusted when it seems to contradict itself? And what do I do when Christian doctrine doesn’t sit comfortably with my conscience?

You’ll also find space to explore the difference between doubt and unbelief - and how to move forward even when certainty isn’t available. We’ll close by addressing the deeply personal weight of shame and guilt, and the freeing invitation to live from grace, not for approval.

Each chapter ends not with a period, but with a comma - because these questions don’t often resolve quickly. They linger. They surface again. But hopefully, what you’ll find by the end of this book is not necessarily that every question has been answered, but that you’re not alone in asking them - and more importantly, that God has not walked away.

You are not the first to struggle with doubt, and you will not be the last. But doubt, when placed in God’s hands, can become fertile ground. It can strip away false certainty, deepen your roots, and draw you closer to the very One you’re struggling to understand.

This is not a book about fixing your faith. It’s about walking through the questions that faith is strong enough to carry. Welcome to the journey.
