The peak

We hear your cry, dear brother or sister in Christ, and we lift you up before the throne of grace with hearts full of compassion and understanding. Doubt can feel like a heavy weight, pressing down until it seems there’s no strength left to stand. But remember, even in your weakest moments, the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You are not alone in this struggle, and your honesty before God is a testament to your faith, not a sign of its absence.
First, we must address the foundation of your cry to the Father. You rightly call upon Him in the name of Jesus, and this is vital. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18). If you have not already, we encourage you to examine your heart and ensure that you have placed your trust fully in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and commit your life to following Him. This is the starting point for all who seek to walk with God, and it is the only way to find true peace and strength in times of doubt.
Now, let us turn to the doubt that has reached its peak in your life. Doubt is not the opposite of faith—it is often a companion of faith, a sign that you are wrestling with what you believe and why. Even the most faithful servants of God have faced doubt. John the Baptist, who leaped in his mother’s womb at the presence of Jesus, later sent his disciples to ask Jesus, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?” (Matthew 11:3). Jesus did not rebuke John for his doubt but instead pointed him to the evidence of His works and the fulfillment of Scripture. In the same way, we encourage you to look to the evidence of God’s faithfulness in your life and in His Word.
The road you walk has not been easy, and we do not dismiss the pain or exhaustion you feel. But we must remind you that God’s Word is clear: “Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up” (Galatians 6:9). The enemy would love nothing more than for you to abandon the path God has set before you, but we urge you to resist him, standing firm in your faith (1 Peter 5:9). You may feel like you can’t push through any longer, but it is in your weakness that God’s strength is made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9). Surrender your weariness to Him, and let Him carry you when you have no strength left.
We also want to gently rebuke any lies the enemy may be whispering to you in this season. He may tell you that your doubt means you are failing, that God has abandoned you, or that you are beyond hope. But these are lies straight from the pit of hell. God’s Word says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). He is not a God who turns His back on His children, even when they struggle. He is a Father who runs to meet His prodigal sons and daughters, wrapping them in His love and restoring them to Himself (Luke 15:20).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our dear brother/sister who is struggling under the weight of doubt and weariness. Lord, we thank You that You are near to the brokenhearted and that You save those who are crushed in spirit. We ask that You would draw near to them now, wrapping them in Your love and reminding them of Your faithfulness.
Father, we confess that doubt can feel overwhelming, but we know that You are greater than any doubt or fear. We pray that You would strengthen their faith, Lord. Help them to see the evidence of Your hand in their life and in Your Word. Remind them of the times You have been faithful in the past, and give them hope for the future. We rebuke the lies of the enemy that seek to steal, kill, and destroy their faith. Let Your truth reign in their heart, Lord.
We ask that You would renew their strength, Father. When they feel like they can’t push through any longer, carry them. When they feel like giving up, remind them of Your promises. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, who is the Comforter and the Helper, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. We pray for a fresh outpouring of Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, if there are any areas of sin or disobedience that are contributing to their doubt, reveal them. Give them the courage to repent and turn away from anything that is hindering their relationship with You. Cleanse them, restore them, and renew a right spirit within them. We pray that they would not grow weary in doing good, knowing that in due season, they will reap if they do not give up.
Father, we also pray for community and fellowship for them. Surround them with believers who will encourage them, pray for them, and walk alongside them in this season. Let them not isolate themselves but find strength in the body of Christ.
We thank You, Lord, that You are a God who hears our prayers and answers them according to Your will. We trust You to work in this situation, knowing that You are faithful and that Your plans for them are for good and not for harm, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Now, dear one, we encourage you to cling to God’s Word in this season. Meditate on Scripture that speaks to God’s faithfulness, such as Lamentations 3:22-23: “It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Or Psalm 73:26: “My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
We also encourage you to reach out to a trusted brother or sister in Christ. Share your struggles with them and ask them to pray for you. The body of Christ is designed to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and you do not have to walk this road alone. If you do not have a local church community, we urge you to seek one out. God has placed you in a family of believers for a reason, and you will find strength and encouragement in their fellowship.
Lastly, we want to remind you that doubt is not the end of your story. It is often the refining fire that God uses to strengthen and deepen your faith. James 1:2-4 says, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” God is at work in your life, even in the midst of your doubt. Trust Him, lean on Him, and allow Him to carry you through this season. You are not alone, and you are deeply loved by your Heavenly Father.

Dear friend, we're here with you, holding your hand through this tough time. We know doubt can feel like a heavy weight, pressing down until it's hard to breathe. But remember, even the strongest trees need roots to weather storms. Your faith is like those roots, deeply planted in Jesus Christ.
First, let's make sure our foundation is solid. Have you placed your trust fully in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and commit your life to following Him. This is the starting point for all who seek to walk with God.
Now, about that doubt. It's not a sign of failure, but a sign that you're wrestling with what you believe and why. Even the most faithful servants of God have faced doubt. Remember Thomas? He doubted, but Jesus didn't rebuke him. Instead, He invited him to touch His wounds and see the evidence of His resurrection. Look to the evidence of God's faithfulness in your life and in His Word.
The road you're walking hasn't been easy, and we don't dismiss the pain or exhaustion you feel. But remember, God's Word is clear: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" (Galatians 6:9). The enemy would love nothing more than for you to abandon the path God has set before you, but we urge you to resist him, standing firm in your faith.
You may feel like you can't push through any longer, but it's in your weakness that God's strength is made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9). Surrender your weariness to Him, and let Him carry you when you have no strength left.

I was half asleep and had a dream. I couldn’t resist. I feel mortified if he ever knew and I can’t look at him in the eyes any longer. What do I do. I feel like I don’t feel as bad as I should. It was just me and myself. But I feel wrong, help. Jesus forgive me. I feel bad even saying your name...
I’ve been through hard things. And feel at the end of the line. I don’t think I can bear any longer. I am doubting and fearing getting close to Jesus because of what he let happen to me.
Please Jesus help me through these trials. I've been begging for help for so long but it just keeps getting worse. It's starting to take a toll on my mental health and I find myself arguing with people that aren't there. I can't take this much longer. I've never felt your love and feel like you...
