Doubting God
by Haley
Many times people, even the strongest believers, may doubt God. We may feel like no good God would put His child through this misery, or that if there was a God bad things wouldn’t happen. I am just as guilty of this feeling as the next guy, maybe even more so. There has been tragedy in my life that makes me feel this way more than most others, I hope!
In these times it is important to remember that God is there. God is always there and if you can keep strong in your faith you will be rewarded. Like any good parent God disciplines us. He even goes as far as to tempt us and this is all a part of being a Christian but staying strongand faithful during these times is possibly the most important display of faith there is.

Do you stray from God when things aren’t going well?
Do hard times decrease your faith?
If yes, pray to god that he will provide you with strength through times of trouble.
