1. Fight the Devil’s Lies
When you are suffering, you have to force yourself to pay attention to your private conversation, that is, the words you say to yourself that no one else hears.
Here’s the question that everyone suffering needs to ask: “Has my suffering caused me to begin to believe things that are not true and therefore say things that are not true to myself?”
2. Count Your Blessings
3. Daily Confess Your Struggle to Believe
Since Jesus took all your judgment, God doesn’t respond to you with judgment but with the faithful, tender love of a father. He welcomes you to be honest, and he will always respond to your confession with mercy.
4. Get Busy
Good biblical busyness is a powerful defense against debilitating doubt. The more you give yourself to the devotional, discipleship, and missional things God calls all his children to, the more you will be reminded of the enormous blessing and eternal importance of what it means to be a child of God and a part of God’s unstoppable mission of redemption.
Has suffering robbed you of your enthusiasm to do the good things God calls all his children to do?
5. Encourage Other Doubters
6. Let Doubt Drive You to Jesus
no one swindles us more than we swindle ourselves.
