Each of us has suffered from doubt at different times in our lives. When problems seem to have no answers, when it seems as though God is not hearing our prayers, doubts can set in. When doubt begins to grow in our lives, we begin to question God’s will. So why do we often find ourselves in the midst of doubt? What does God want me to do? What does He want me to learn? How do I get out of this trial? Is God in control of my life? These are all questions that doubt asks. Although this topic is broad and can be approached from many angles, this message addresses three questions: 1. What is the cause of spiritual doubt?  2. Why do we go through trials that seem to cause doubt in our lives?  3. What can we do to conquer spiritual doubt in our lives?
