This is something I’ve been struggling with, not just recently but for as long as I can remember. I remember being relieved when I came to the Lutheran church in my college town because it seemed I could be free from doubt due to reliance on my works. It turns out, just becoming Lutheran wasn’t going to stop my anxieties or the devil’s attacks. I still don’t know how to entirely overcome this doubt that grips my soul more often than not, but I pray, “Lord, help my unbelief” and refuse to allow doubt to ever become denial. Thank you very much for this article, which I’m sure will continue to reach others and help embolden their faith.
