It can be easy to doubt when we feel like we’ve faltered or missed the mark in trying to live for Jesus. We’ve all missed the mark (a Jewish idiom for sinning). The important question is: What do we do next?

The Bible says that when we stumble in our faith, we should confess it to the Lord, get up, dust ourselves off, and keep moving forward. When we first came to faith in Jesus Christ, He already knew that these failures would happen.

So, don’t be too hard on yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit to refill you, and He will. Then, make a plan to dive deeper into God’s Word. As you’re filled with the Word of God and the Spirit of God, you’ll notice those moments of doubt becoming less frequent. You’ll begin to experience real victory in your life.
