Doubt and Unbelief

Something that limits God giving to us and us receiving is Doubt and Unbelief. James 1 says that when we ask, we must believe and not doubt. I didn’t think this is an area in which I struggle until the speaker began to tell us what it looks like. One of the words he used was “double-minded”. Oh my! That’s the very word I’ve been using to describe myself as I’ve struggled with thoughts of Pearl and a growing attraction to my co-worker. I am determined to follow God and yet obviously there’s something in me that still wants the other. Could it be a simple matter of doubt and unbelief?

What opens the door to unbelief? Tragedy, abuse and negativity were three that were listed that were definitely part of my life growing up. I repented, renounced, and broke the hold of this over me and was blessed by the person praying for me.
