Doubt is that looming feeling of uncertainty, where we question the realness of others, life, and God.  Hope is future-focused related to our expectations, while faith is our present beliefs and reliance and trust in.  We experience doubt about God, the church, the government, relationships, and even ourselves.  Our dependence and trust are in ourselves, because we wonder who or what can be trusted. Faith is the antidote, the unseen belief in something bigger than us and this world.  Belief in a God who came to be with us.  The exclamation of “help me overcome my unbelief” applies to us today.  Our focus becomes trusting the Lord and not leaning on our own understanding.  Faith is something bigger than.
