In our lives of faith, doubt is often characterized in a negative way, however the word ‘faith’ presupposes that some of this will be hard to believe and will need to be taken on ‘faith’.  Rather than ignoring or denying our doubts, it can be very important to wrestle with our questions. 

Philosopher and Author Peter Rollins leads an experience every year called “Atheism for Lent” where he invites people to spend these 40 sacred days of Lent as a time to challenge and question their beliefs and in so emerge from Lent with a faith that is reformed and refined.  

Verse for Meditation: Hebrews 11:1

Action: Take time to journal about doubts. Pray about it and refer back to it occasionally, see what God might be trying to teach you through these questions.
