Excellent and doubt-killing exercise Jamie…love it! God will never fail to replace lies with truth.

That is a wonderful exercise Jamie. We've done that before in prayer, stating the lies we've believed about our pasts and then asking Jesus to replace those lies with what He says about us. It is powerful.
Thanks for this and for the party.

Keeping a list is a great idea, Jaime! Going to the truths of scripture when doubts creep in is always inspiring. We need to constantly renew our minds and "take every thought captive" to Christ. Great post! Have a blessed weekend!

A great post! I think adversity can trigger doubt, but I also think that satan will randomly hit us with doubt. When it's the enemy, I since an instant, "where did that come from?" shocked and repulsed feeling. No matter the reason or source, you've given great points on combating doubt and building faith.

Yes I'm a doubter... I've heard that doubting isn't as bad as we think because it moves us to greater faith?!??
I'm a analyzer and sometimes I can't understand things which then brings in doubt!
Great post!

I will freely admit I am the Doubting Thomas. I look at things from a very cynical view. Every time I start to believe, reality in life slaps me in the face and I go back to doubting. For example, I got messed over at work and was lied to by administration, so I went back to doubting but it didn't last too long (a lot shorter than usual) and started to believe it was a good thing because it opened my eyes to looking at other opportunities in life. Now I am back to doubting because during a meeting a co-worker started yelling and screaming at me and all the supervision said zero. I filed a work grievance about allowing violence at work. I was just told that main boss turned it down because "He is not emotionally mature and this behavior is his way." Just wondering what can I do??? So I am doubting again.

a great and needed post, dear Jamie. Doubt isn't addressed enough – too afraid to expresss them maybe? looking like you're not a strong Christian, perhaps? when I doubted my teacher said, If God isn't big enough for your questions, He isn't a big enough God, is He, Sue? What a release that was for me. Currently a little doubtful about my retreat speaking this weekend and another one the next weekend in WASH – all that rain, and all that driving and 8 talks. Prayers appreciated. God will work in spite of my doubts,and I do love to speak. Now…to review and Pack!

Jaime I always appreciate your thoughts and insights. Thank you for sharing! I love the way you share the little details about what was happening behind the scenes. I really appreciate you hosting here each week, too. Thank you so much!

Hi Jaime! I like the idea of keeping reminders of what God has done for us in the past as a way of warding off doubts. One pastor told us in a meeting once that if God can do this, He can do that; this being from my journal of previous blessings, and that being my expected blessings the enemy is harassing me with doubt over. Thanks for sharing.
