You don’t have to be ashamed if you have questions about God. It’s OK to ask questions, but don’t give up if you don’t get your answer right away! Many people fall away from the faith because they have questions that they don’t know the answer to. And that’s one of the saddest things ever! It doesn’t have to be that way. Our questions can bring us closer to God instead of pushing Him away.
Jesus said, “Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed.” Faith is believing in something you can’t see, and God wants us to have faith. That means that we might need to be OK with some unanswered questions. If we demand that God gives us answers in our own time, then we can end up falling away. But if we sincerely seek after truth and wisdom, we’re going to find God. Our God is the God of truth, and if we have doubts or questions or things we don’t understand, we can bring those to God and He will show us what’s right. We just might need a little patience!

Prayer:
Dear God, thank you for hearing my prayers. Help me to seek after you, and to be patient for the answers that you might not give me right away. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
