Why Do You Doubt?

Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!

Romans 11:33

Timothy Keller once stated, “Worry is not believing God will get it right, and bitterness is believing God got it wrong.”^a

Talk with God about the quote and Scripture verse above.

Where do you feel anxiety or bitterness in your life?

How has that experience caused you to doubt that God wants the best for you?

Choose one phrase you can say to yourself today that will help you better trust in his infinite wisdom and knowledge. For example, you may want to say something like “God wants good things for my life,” “God’s decisions and ways are best,” or “God’s wisdom is far greater than my own.”
