Inspired by Chaz's sermon

"But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world." - 1 Peter 5:9

When we think about the sufferings of others, we usually think physical things or spiritual persecution. But rarely do we think about struggles with our faith. We often believe that our faltering is an uncommon struggle with those who are strong in their faith. But in actuality, it is usually the most common struggle we go through. None of us are strong enough on our own, yet our pride always fools us into believing it, even if for a little while. We must remember that doubt is not a weakness, but a time for renewal. Because in our questioning we find answers, if we are willing to search for them.
