Faith & Doubt

God felt close for years and now there is just silence. Did I do something to cause it, or is this normal?

I still go to church and still read my Bible, but none of it lands anymore. Everything feels dry. How long does this last?

I have questions about God that feel almost dangerous to say out loud. Am I allowed to ask them, or is questioning already a failure of faith?

I am angry at God about something he allowed, and I cannot pray past it. Is it a sin to be this furious with him?

I asked God for one specific thing that mattered more than anything, and he did not do it. How do I trust him again after that?

I read the news and I cannot square any of it with a good God. How do people keep believing he is good when the world looks like this?

The people I know who cut corners and lie keep getting ahead, and I am the one struggling. Why does God let that happen?

I believe God runs the universe, but I cannot believe he is interested in my small daily problems. Why would he bother with mine?

People at church talk about God telling them things, and I have never heard anything like that. Does God still speak, and why not to me?

I keep being told to just believe and stop asking for evidence. Does God actually expect me to switch my brain off?

I have been praying about the same thing for years with no answer. How do I keep waiting without giving up on God entirely?

The Christians I know behave worse than my non-religious friends, and it is putting me off the whole thing. How do I get past that?

I prayed the prayer, I go to church, and I have never once felt saved. Is something missing, or am I fooling myself?

I keep failing in the same way and coming back with the same apology. At what point does God finally give up on me?

There are parts of the Bible I find hard to believe and hard to stomach, and I do not want to just bury that. What do I do with those passages?

Some weeks my faith feels solid and then the doubt rolls straight back in. Why does it keep swinging like this, and does it ever settle?

When I pray it feels like talking to the ceiling, like nobody is there and nobody cares. How do I keep doing it with that feeling?

I can feel my faith slipping away and I genuinely do not want it to. Is there anything I can actually do to stop it?

Faith used to matter enormously to me and now even the wanting has gone quiet. What do you do when you do not even want to want it?

I was serious about God years ago and I have drifted a long way since. I want to believe again and I do not. How do I come back?

Other people describe a personal relationship with God and I have never had anything like that. Why not, and can it ever change?

My health, my work and my family are all falling apart at the same time. How am I supposed to hold on to faith in the middle of that?

I do all the Christian things but it feels like going through the motions. How do I actually get closer to God rather than just performing?

I can believe in God in general, but I get stuck on Jesus specifically: the resurrection, the claims, all of it. How do I work through that?

I am in a long season of doubt and I feel like the only one. How have other believers actually got through something like this?

People kept telling me nothing is impossible with God while I prayed for a miracle that never came. What am I supposed to do with a promise like that now?

I was raised on the idea that God helps those who help themselves, and now I cannot tell where my effort ends and his help begins. Which is it?

Following Jesus has been much harder than anyone told me it would be, and I am tired. Was it supposed to cost this much?
