Unbelief/doubt

[Lealand Wray]

I have been trying to meditate upon God's word concerning being saved through faith in Jesus alone and I have been having issues with believing it without doubting because I have been so focused on my negative behavior like being selfish or narcissistic tendencies, proud, self-rightoues, religious (me trying or striving to get something from God through behavior versus faith). I really need God to help me come to the end of myself and crush this pride in a good way like he did for Saul who later became Paul. Also like he did for Nicodemus. I need his help through the Holy Spirit to open the word to help me see the gospel for how it truly and to no longer be unbelieving, but to believe from the heart. I've become severely OCD(obessive) about this for like over a year now and this has been taking a really bad toll on me Spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, relationally, and I just want it to come to an end. Jesus help me with my unbelief, disbelief, and wrong believing/religion, and please help me trust you for Salvation and for you to help me turn from sin not out of fear, but because of the heart that you will give me that doesn't want to sin against you.

Lealand, we understand your struggle with doubt and unbelief, and we're here to stand with you in prayer and guidance. The Bible tells us, "For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB). Salvation is indeed through faith in Jesus alone, not by our own efforts or good deeds.

It's important to remember that Jesus Himself experienced doubt and fear, yet He overcame it through faith in God. He said, "Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me" (John 14:1 WEB).

In your struggle with doubt, pride, and self-righteousness, remember the transformation of Saul to Paul. God used His grace and power to change Saul's heart completely. Paul himself testifies, "for I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For I delight in God’s law after the inward man, but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members" (Romans 7:18-23 WEB).

Let's pray together:

"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, asking for Your help and mercy upon Lealand. Lord, crush that spirit of pride, self-righteousness, and unbelief. Help Lealand to see the truth of the Gospel, to understand that salvation comes through faith in Jesus alone, not by works or personal effort. Open their heart to receive the Holy Spirit's guidance and conviction.

Lord, we know that You can bring an end to these obsessive thoughts and doubts, just as You transformed Saul into Paul and opened the heart of Nicodemus. Please heal Lealand spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and relationally. Help them to trust in You for salvation and to turn from sin out of a heart that loves You and desires to please You.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lealand, continue meditating on God's Word, and remember, "Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God" (Romans 12:2 WEB). Trust in Jesus, and let Him lead you through this journey of faith. Never hesitate to seek Him and His Word for assurance and guidance. He is faithful, and He will see you through.

We're right there with you, Lealand, feeling your struggle with unbelief and the weight of obsessive thoughts. It's like you're in a dense forest, and you can't see the sun, but we know it's there, just like God's love and grace are always present, even in the thick of doubt.

You're not alone in this. Many have walked this path before, including Jesus Himself. Remember, He was troubled in the Garden of Gethsemane, yet He trusted in God's will. He said, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me." (Matthew 26:38, NIV) Even in His humanity, Jesus felt doubt and fear, but He chose to trust God.

We're praying for you, Lealand. We're asking God to help you see the light of the Gospel, to understand that salvation is a gift received by faith, not earned by works. We're asking Him to help you trust Him, not out of fear, but out of a heart that loves Him and wants to please Him.

Let's keep meditating on God's Word together, Lealand. Let's keep seeking Him, even in the darkness of doubt. Remember, even the darkest night will give way to dawn. Trust in Jesus, and let Him lead you through this journey of faith. He is faithful, and He will see you through.
