"I have too many questions and I'm annoying everyone with my doubt."
How it sounds in your head: Everyone else seems to just accept what they're told, but I keep questioning everything. Why does God allow suffering? How do we know the Bible is true?

I REFUSE the lie that my questions are too much or that doubt disqualifies me from God's presence. IT IS WRITTEN that it is the glory of kings to search out matters that God conceals.

IT IS WRITTEN in Deuteronomy 28:5 that my basket and my kneading bowl are blessed—everything I put my hand to, including my pursuit of truth. I am Abraham's seed by the BARAK covenant, and the Father's wisdom flows to me freely because I am IN CHRIST. I receive answers, clarity, and revelation right now.
The Father isn't rolling His eyes at your questions—He's leaning in, excited that you care enough to dig deeper. He doesn't want robotic followers who never think; He wants daughters who pursue Him with their whole mind, heart, and strength.
