Wrestling With Doubts

Today’s Reflection

When we hesitate to voice our questions, even to those closest to us, the spinning logic wheels in our mind can distract us from experiencing the reality of God. We produce questions that are impossible to answer.

—Mary Lou Redding, While We Wait: Living the Questions of Advent (Upper Room Books, 2002)

Today’s Question

What questions of faith do you struggle with? What might happen if you decided to accept that we all have doubts? Join the conversation.

Today’s Scripture

Faith is the reality of what we hope for, the proof of what we don’t see.—Hebrews 11:1 (CEB)

Prayer for the Week

Holy God, help us to hear you calling us to come home during Advent. Guide us to set aside time for reflection on the questions we have about the wonder of your Son’s birth. Thank you for the wonderful gift of Jesus Christ. Help us to focus on him and reflect his compassion and love to others especially during this season. Amen.
