Have you ever felt like your faith was slipping through your fingers?
Like you were clinging to the edge of a cliff, barely holding on?
I have.
And let me tell you—it was terrifying.
For weeks, I wrestled with spiritual doubt.
Prayers felt empty.
Bible verses that once comforted me seemed hollow.
I wondered, “Am I losing my faith?” If you’re reading this, you might know exactly what I mean.
But here’s the good news: doubt doesn’t have to be the end of your faith journey.
It can be a turning point.
A stepping stone.
A way to grow closer to God than you’ve ever been before.
I’m living proof of that.
Let me take you through the five powerful steps that helped me overcome spiritual doubt in one month.
Step 1: Acknowledge Your Doubt Without Shame
The first thing I had to do was face my doubt head-on.
Not bury it.
Not pretend it didn’t exist.
And most importantly, not feel ashamed of it.
Even some of the greatest heroes in the Bible wrestled with doubt.
Think about Thomas.
He refused to believe in the resurrection until he could see and touch the wounds of Christ.
And how did Yahshua respond?
He didn’t scold Thomas.
He invited him to come closer.
When I realized that doubt wasn’t a sign of failure but an invitation to seek Yahweh more deeply, I felt the weight on my chest begin to lift.
So if you’re doubting, say it out loud.
Write it down.
Talk to God about it.
He’s not afraid of your questions.
Step 2: Surround Yourself With Faith-Building Truths
In the middle of my doubt, I was surrounded by negativity—social media posts questioning Christianity, news stories filled with hopelessness, and even conversations that made me feel like my faith was foolish.
No wonder my spirit felt weak.
So I decided to change the narrative.
Every day for one month, I flooded my life with faith-building truths.
I listened to worship hymns that declared the goodness of God.
I read books by Christian authors who had walked through doubt and come out stronger. And I meditated on promises from the Word, like this one:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11, NKJV).
Filling my mind with truth didn’t erase my questions overnight, but it gave me the strength to keep going.
Step 3: Lean on a Faith Community
During this season, I realized I couldn’t fight doubt alone.
I reached out to trusted Christian friends and mentors, and I was honest with them.
I shared my struggles, my fears, and even my questions about God.
And you know what?
Not one of them judged me.
Instead, they prayed for me, encouraged me, and reminded me of God’s faithfulness in ways I couldn’t see for myself.
Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend” (NKJV).
If you’re struggling, find your community.
Whether it’s a Bible study, a prayer group, or just one person you trust, don’t go through this alone.

Step 4: Wrestle With the Word
This step was the hardest—and the most life-changing.
Instead of avoiding the Bible because I didn’t “feel” connected to it, I dove deeper into it. But this time, I came with my questions.
I asked God, “Why do You allow suffering?”
I searched the Psalms when I felt abandoned.
I read about Job when I questioned His plans.
And little by little, I began to see that the Bible isn’t a book of easy answers—it’s a book of enduring hope.
One verse that stuck with me was this: “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24, NKJV).
Even when I didn’t understand everything, I learned to trust the One who does.
Step 5: Focus on Yahweh’s Faithfulness
The final step was to reflect on how Yahweh had been faithful in my life—even in seasons of doubt.
I made a gratitude journal, and every day, I wrote down one way God had shown up for me in the past.
Some days, it was big things—like a healing or an answered prayer.
Other days, it was small things—like the sunrise or a kind word from a friend.
The more I reflected, the more I realized that Yahweh had never left me.
He had been with me through every valley, every storm, every question.
Psalm 77:11 became my anthem: “I will remember the works of the Lord; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old” (NKJV).
Your Doubt Doesn’t Define You
By the end of that month, my spiritual doubt didn’t magically disappear.
But something even better happened.
My faith became deeper, stronger, and more real than it had ever been before.
If you’re walking through doubt right now, know this: it’s okay to question.
It’s okay to wrestle.
But don’t give up.
Seek Yahweh with all your heart, and you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13).
Take these five steps.
Walk through them one by one.
And trust that Yahweh is working, even when you can’t see it.
Your faith is worth fighting for.
Keep going, my friend.
You’re not alone.
