It is possible for us to get used to our problems and pains. The tragedy is where we get to think that God cannot reverse our hopeless circumstances. That is what happened to Zecharia the father of John the Baptist. He got used to the pain of childlessness that he could not imagine God could intervene. When the Angel told him that he would be a father, he doubted and as a result lost his voice. He could not be part of the celebration a the wife Elizabeth went through the emotions. Do not doubt God otherwise you may lose your voice in celebrating when God does it.

Quite often in life, we come very close to our dreams to an extent of almost seeing them, but then out of nowhere they vanish away. Situations that appear like bad dreams when our situations are about to change but something happens and the ray of hope is extinguished. That is what happens when we doubt God's promises or power over our lives. A servant of the King of Israel doubted prophet Elisha when he prophesied the end of a devastating famine in Israel. He attracted a curse and was told he will see it happen but won't eat. He died when he was supervising other people gathering to eat but never got to eat. Do not feast with your eyes. Have faith in God

There are situations that we go through in life such that we would be tempted to say 'never', if God was to tell us that the same can change. God is known to call the things that are not as though they are. When it became impossible for Ezekiel to conceive in his mind how dry bones could come back to life, He surrendered to God's Sovereignty by saying, 'Only you knows Sovereign God"!. Never say never, our God knows

The human nature craves for comfort and security. Life is always enjoyable inside our boats where we feel secure. Wait until the storms of life beats on our boat in form of sicknesses and disease, unemployment, death of a loved one etc. We get afraid and fail to see Jesus inviting us to walk with him on the very waters we are afraid of. Our God is not more of a God in our comfort than He is in the stormy sea. Don't doubt the God who walks on water. Join him and do not doubt that his presence is with you

The scriptures makes it clear that bad company corrupts good morals. For us to avoid doubting and cultivate faith in our walk with God, we may keep a company of believers. Jesus cast doubters out of the house of Jairus and only went there in the company of those who believed in what He believed. What company do you keep?

God always finishes what He starts. Although it may delay or face storms in between, He will surely finish it. God has not promised a smooth calm journey. What He has has promised is that even with the storms, He will make sure we dock safely home!

Many are the times we try to hide our emotions of pain or doubt when speaking to God in prayer. We often forget that it is God who gave us those emotions and is able to handle even the worst of our emotions. When the disciples faced danger at sea and their master was sound asleep, they told him as they felt it; don't you care that we are perishing! Guess what. He stopped the storm.

We should never confuse God's processes with inaction. God always finishes what He starts no matter how long it takes. Seeds take time to grow and when God gives you a word, do not doubt it. At the fullness of his time, God will surely do it

In our battle with doubt, when it reaches a point where believing appears impossible, the best way to handle it is surrendering it to Jesus. When a man who went to Jesus was unable to believe for the healing of his son, He cried to the Lord to help him in his unbelief. Do you know what happened? Jesus helped him and healed the boy. Surrender your doubting to God

Is it possible to have complete faith in God without doubting? Doubting is part and parcel of our fallen nature. God has however provided a mechanism of handling our doubt which involves total surrender to him as well as confessing our doubts to him. Don't mind doubting, just hand it over to God
