doubts

we have them all the time.

it’s that split second or wrenching days and months of doubt. you either doubt yourself or others or situations or God.

whether self-doubt or just plain doubt, they’re all the same.

D-O-U-B-T.

the lack of certainty.

the lack of concrete and the presence of thin air.

the absence of faith and the presence of distrust.

but i think that the worse type of doubt is self-doubt.

i have been down that road and back

and it really is disheartening. doubt brings about discord. that much i know. when i doubt myself, i get very displeased,

with myself.

my mind fights itself

the thoughts wrestle.

when that happens, i stop,

i look upwards

i feel God,

and my soul soars.

thank you Lord for making it possible to trust myself even when doubts arise.
