Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:06.253 --> 00:00:07.602
I'm Rick.

00:00:07.602 --> 00:00:12.512
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:12.512 --> 00:00:18.324
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:18.324 --> 00:00:19.929
Let's get started.

00:00:19.929 --> 00:00:23.280
And now Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.887
And now Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:26.907 --> 00:00:29.952
Today is day 159, rooted Through Doubt.

00:00:29.952 --> 00:00:35.881
We'll be in John, chapter 6, verse 68 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:35.881 --> 00:00:39.466
Hey, there, it's Sunday and I'm so glad you're here for Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:39.466 --> 00:00:49.664
Today I want to talk about something most of us are afraid to admit out loud Doubt, not doubt in the sense of walking away from God.

00:00:49.664 --> 00:01:01.776
I'm talking about those quieter moments, the ones where you feel unsure, where your prayers don't get answered like you expected, where you say Lord, I know you're good, but I don't feel it right now.

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:08.183
There's this powerful moment in John 6.

00:01:08.183 --> 00:01:10.147
Jesus had just taught something difficult and it says many disciples walked away.

00:01:10.147 --> 00:01:14.263
He turned to the 12 and asked are you going to leave too?

00:01:14.263 --> 00:01:18.194
And Peter says Lord, to whom would we go?

00:01:18.194 --> 00:01:20.881
You have the words of eternal life.

00:01:20.881 --> 00:01:23.986
That line undoes me every time.

00:01:23.986 --> 00:01:31.811
It's not the confidence of someone who understands everything, it's the faith of someone who's chosen to stay, even when it's hard.

00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:35.528
Being rooted doesn't mean you never wrestle.

00:01:35.528 --> 00:01:38.969
It means you wrestle with God, not away from Him.

00:01:38.969 --> 00:01:42.129
When doubt creeps in, don't panic.

00:01:42.129 --> 00:01:44.186
Let it drive you back to truth.

00:01:44.186 --> 00:01:52.290
Let it deepen your questions, but even more deepen your roots, because the strongest trees aren't the ones that avoid storms.

00:01:52.290 --> 00:01:55.367
They're the ones that hold firm in spite of them.

00:01:55.367 --> 00:01:58.641
Let's pray, jesus.

00:01:58.641 --> 00:02:04.728
I don't always understand, but I trust you Help me stay rooted when answers don't come quickly.

00:02:04.728 --> 00:02:08.301
Let my doubt turn into deeper faith.

00:02:08.301 --> 00:02:12.530
You alone have the words of life and I'm not walking away, amen.

00:02:12.530 --> 00:02:15.034
Now one last thing.

00:02:15.034 --> 00:02:20.090
If you're still holding on, even with tears in your eyes, that's called faith.

00:02:20.090 --> 00:02:22.121
I'll see you next weekend.

00:02:22.121 --> 00:02:28.641
