“I am doubting. I feel I lack faith.”

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. (Romans 10:17)

“Shall I then be inundated with more words of God to have more faith?”

These things were written so that you might believe and in believing have life through his name. (John 20:31)

“Surely anything I read more of I will believe more and more by reading and inundation.”

These words are true and faithful. (Revelation 22:6, John 17:17)

What is wrong with believing the truth?

Why do you seek something else?

“Much is written against the reliability and error of the Bible.”

I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. (1 John 2:26)

“But my heart also raises doubt concerning all this.”

For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart. (1 John 3:20)

“I feel my heart is the voice of reason trying to keep me from this folly of religion and Christianity.”

For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)

“You only say this to coerce me and keep me from reason.”

Take care lest your heart be deceived. (Deuteronomy 11:16)

“I want to believe.”

Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. (Acts 2:21)

“God, my God, clearly I will forget my struggles and have faith if I shelf my reason and flood my mind with your word.”

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind… (Luke 10:27)

Where else shall you go? (John 6:68)

“Is that a fallacious argument–‘Where shall you go?’? Does that matter?”

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel. (Galatians 1:6-7)

“I believe! Help my unbelief!”
