Doubt

Doubt. We all doubt things. I doubt myself....often.

I doubt I am right for this place, this time.
I doubt I am the best Mum I could be.

I doubt I am the best wife I could be.

I doubt I did it right today.

I doubt I'll do it right tomorrow.

But then the words to this song that my girls learned at school come belting in my ear :
In my wrestling and in my doubts, 
In my failures you won't walk out.
Your great love will see me through.
You are the peace in my troubled sea.

It's from a song called My Lighthouse by Rend Collective and I urge you to listen to it. (Click here!) It sounds great and the lyrics are fabulous.

But knowing that even in my doubts, God won't walk out. He doesn't doubt me, even when I doubt myself. He put me here for this time, this place. I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139 verse 14)....so why should I doubt?

I know why I do, and why I shouldn't, but it doesn't stop me.

I just need to make sure it doesn't overcome me. That lighthouse stands firm even in the fiercest winds and storm and God will hold me safe if I let Him. I need to let Him be my peace.

So today I encourage you to let God be your peace. Let Him stand beside you in whatever you are facing. He doesn't doubt that you can do it, He knows you are right for here and now.

In honesty, I doubt I'll remember this later when things are hard, or I'm feeling fed up, but today if you have doubts about God, speak to someone. Ask those questions and He will allay those doubts.
