Day 6: God Can Handle Your Doubts
God Can Handle Your Doubts
Read: Mark 9:21–24
“I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief! (Mark 9:24)”
Doubt can feel disqualifying, but Scripture treats honest doubt as a doorway. The opposite of faith isn’t doubt—it’s unbelief. Doubt can actually drive us deeper into dependence on Christ. The desperate father in Mark 9 brings both faith and unbelief to Jesus, and Jesus meets him with compassion and power. Zechariah wrestled. Thomas needed to see. God did not cancel them; He grew them.
Bring your questions into the light. Ask them in prayer, in Scripture, and in trusted community. Parents, give your kids permission to wonder and wrestle. When the Church becomes a safe place for questions, people stick around long enough to find real answers.
At Creekside, to Know Christ is to come as you are. Don’t hide doubt; hand it to Jesus. The goal isn’t certainty about everything but trust in Someone who is certain. He is faithful to finish the work He began—even in you.
Reflect:
- What honest question do you need to bring to Jesus?
- Who could you invite into your questions so you don’t wrestle alone?
