Can I doubt God?
Short answer
Yes. Many of the Bible's most faithful figures wrestled with deep doubt. God is not threatened by your questions.
Deeper answer
Doubt becomes a problem only when it stops being a question and becomes a wall. Bring your doubts into the open — in prayer, with trusted friends, with a pastor.
Faith that has wrestled tends to go deeper than faith that has never been tested.
From the Bible
Mark 9:24
NIV“Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!””
Psalm 13:1–2, 5
NIV“How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? … But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.”
