Dare to Doubt Even as Christians, doubt; discouragement and despondency will at times plague us. However, it doesn’t mean that we are forsaken or are unusable. In Him, we can still trust. Pleasant experiences aren’t always allowed, for self-sufficiency will turn our hearts away. Apart from God, we are helpless. Ultimately, He desires us to call on Him for aid.
