Recently, I went through a very unpleasant job search. As I waited for the phone to ring, or took a call that told me I was a good candidate but they hired someone else I, like Thomas, had serious doubt issues. It was a very difficult time for me and, to be honest, my faith was weak. Over the months as I cried, questioned and felt more and more depressed, my church family gathered around me and assured me that God did have a plan and things would work out. They assured me that I was being covered in prayer. In those days, weeks and months, I leaned heavily on the faith of my church family. Eventually I did get a job and it was amazing to look back over the past year and see why it was THE job for me. God DID have a plan! As I doubted and leaned on others, he was patiently putting all the pieces together. When you doubt, lean on your Christian brothers and sisters for a “faith lift”, and know in your heart, that God is there.
