God Hears Her 40-Day Devotional Journal

Suppose doubt is not indicative of a lack of faith but of loosely holding our convictions and being willing to change our current position when given new evidence. My friend Carl, a pastor, posted the following in a recent Facebook post: “I’d much rather be around people who are honest about their doubts than to be surrounded by people who are absolutely certain that all of their beliefs are true.” I shared the entire post on my own Facebook page and many people responded with such sentiments as “I wish I could go to that church!” and one person even wondered aloud if the church was a place where they could ever feel safe questioning the faith.

“I am tired.” These are the words I have found myself repeating frequently to the Lord over the last several years. Why am I tired? I have a full-time job as a seminary professor that I love.
