Doubt

 There is a time in belief in which we doubt.  It is the doubt time.  It need not be a crisis, as if all faith is lost.  It is a faze.  It’s part of belief.  Jesus told his disciples, who saw him alive after he was dead, that they would doubt.  So me, who never saw Jesus in his risen body, should not be all that flummoxed by times of doubt.  People in recovery programs can have times of doubt.  It is part of recovery.  It is the human condition of growth.  My prayer, in times of doubt, is to ask my God to help me through this moment of doubt.  It is irony that one prays to their higher power to help them through this moment when they doubt there is a higher power.  In belief we are still fragile human beings.  Only the proud think they should never doubt.  Pride goes before the fall, not doubt.
