A tough question.

[Blaise N]

Hi everyone,

I’m sorry to come to you all like this,but today I’ve had minor anxiety over a certain thought that scared me and brought much anxiety to me,I can’t tell if it was intrusive or intentional.But today I had a though”faith seems kinda childish,like it’s unmanly”,now I realize that no man is a man without Jesus,but I’m afraid that that may be the true me,I tell myself constantly I will never be an atheist and never ever leave Christ,but I’m scared that I thought something like that and it seemed like to me it was true.But overall that is the question,and if possible can you all pray for me?,I cannot fathom why God is putting so many fiery trials upon me,but I still trust him.

The little boy in me is still there. As a Christian, the little boy is twofold. There remains the childlike love for Jesus, which is a good thing. Then there's the little boy who's scared and insecure. That can be a good thing too, if it causes us to cling to like a child to Jesus.

Friend Jesus and the Spirit aren't particularly concerned with what you thought might be true. The real issue is WHAT DO YOU DO? Here's a proof text,

What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’“ ‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
“Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go. "Which of the two did what his father wanted? ”The first,” they answered. Matt 21:28

So you said you had one thought BUT changed to a right thought? Well such is what happened in the verse above. God watches what do you ultimately do with your thoughts so allow your mind to be at peace.

But today I had a though ”faith seems kinda childish, like it’s unmanly”,now.

You received some good counsel about maturity in Christian life: making the Lord Jesus the center of your daily life; and need to KEEP in conversation with Him in prayerful talk. One can be sure that Satan will always seek to draw us away from God by whispering in our mind (never blame God for that). Keep looking up and walking with the Savior: our Lord Jesus!
