“A person who has doubts is thinking about two different things at the same time and can’t make up his mind about anything”. James 1:8

Whenever I am going through tough times in my life which I do not know what to do, I always take things to God in prayer.

Many times our own intelligence will just not suffice. True wisdom comes with union with God. God makes us wise and complete. God knows what we need and what we want to ask Him. He will bring forth the answer which we need to receive.

Don’t worry! The Lord will not mock, taunt, ridicule or reproach us when we ask Him for wisdom. Actually, he gives it generously. God will not disapprove us for asking nor laugh at us. He will give us the answer; you just need to ask without any doubt.

The waves of doubt will keep knocking us if we let them in, so if you continue to let them, we will often become agitated or confused. Not approaching God when we know we need Him can cause sadness, sometimes even a loss of direction.

The devil will beat us up. So, as you can see, doubt will give the devil a foothold. It gives him permission to beat us up if we follow its path.

We don’t really get anywhere when we doubt as it can crush us repeatedly. It is agonizing to be carried away with doubt..

A double minded man is unstable, he is unable to settle down his mind, live his life in faith and cannot stand by himself. Therefore, confidence in making desisions is not gained, the same as taking risks when he needs.

Learn to believe in your own decisions. If you ask God for wisdom, then he will give you.

“Therefore I say unto you, what things you ever desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.” Mark 11:24
