When Doubts Arise

When Doubts Arise... what does it mean to still believe? How do I remain faithful even when I doubt? What if the ascent of faith is not a journey away from doubt, but one in spite of doubt? What would it look like to lay all I have, including my doubts, at the feet of Jesus? How do I faithfully wrestle with my uncertainties while I wait for the Lord? These are the questions I seek to explore as I meditate on the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120 through 134). Each chapter includes my own translation of the psalm from Hebrew. I then provide a proposed literary structure--a section that can be skipped for those bored by such things. The meditation follows as I write about doubt, faith, waiting on God, his promises, trusting him, seeking him, and his presence with us while we wait. The epilogue includes a piece of the story of my own wrestling with doubts as I wrote the book.
