• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Faith in God's loving truth overcomes doubt because God's love becomes so visible in our lives that doubting God becomes absurd.

Doubt is fought the best when we go in our doubting self to God and let Him set us free from our doubt and places us back into His loving truth again - time and again.


So faith in God love overcomes doubt

Doubts are dealt with by finding the answers to them.

If your doubts are sudden thoughts that question what you believe or your faith, they are intrusive thoughts that you do not argue with, talk with or try to ignore.
All you do with them is acknowledge them.
Example.
A thought appears, " real Christians don't doubt there faith! "
All you do is say/think " That is right. " And move on.

Please look up ' 25 tips for successfully treating your ocd.'
Please read it and discuss it with your therapist, doctor, or whoever helps you.

What if my seat collapses?

What if I choke on a crumb and die?

What if I am run over while crossing the road?

How real are the answers.
Does your seat often collapse under you?
Have you often choked to death on something you've eaten?
Are you frequently in casualty due to a ' RTA ' ?

If you are obsessing about things that ' might ' happen, then you need professional help.

Being unable to leave one's home because of a fear that something will happen is not funny.

So if you cannot cope with intrusive thoughts that are making you obcess about things, please see your doctor.

Good luck, doubt is probably my biggest problem as a Christian. I have a lot of financial difficulties and raising a family it’s tough trusting in The Lord to provide when I believe at the same time He is expecting me to be a trustworthy steward and make the right decisions. So I think most of the doubt comes from fear of my own decisions and perhaps God teaching me a lesson when I make dumb decisions. I know that no matter how bad things get He will always see us thru it but mostly me fear is how bad are things going to get as a result of my bad decisions sometimes?
