And now Weekends with Lauren.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Today is day 159, rooted Through Doubt.
We'll be in John, chapter 6,verse 68 from the New Living
Translation.
Hey, there, it's Sunday and I'mso glad you're here for
Weekends with Lauren.
Today I want to talk aboutsomething most of us are afraid
to admit out loud Doubt, notdoubt in the sense of walking

(00:48):
away from God.
I'm talking about those quietermoments, the ones where you
feel unsure, where your prayersdon't get answered like you
expected, where you say Lord, Iknow you're good, but I don't
feel it right now.
There's this powerful moment inJohn 6.
Jesus had just taught somethingdifficult and it says many

(01:09):
disciples walked away.
He turned to the 12 and askedare you going to leave too?
And Peter says Lord, to whomwould we go?
You have the words of eternallife.
That line undoes me every time.
It's not the confidence ofsomeone who understands
everything, it's the faith ofsomeone who's chosen to stay,

(01:31):
even when it's hard.
Being rooted doesn't mean younever wrestle.
It means you wrestle with God,not away from Him.
When doubt creeps in, don'tpanic.
Let it drive you back to truth.
Let it deepen your questions,but even more deepen your roots,
because the strongest treesaren't the ones that avoid

(01:51):
storms.
They're the ones that hold firmin spite of them.
Let's pray, jesus.
I don't always understand, butI trust you Help me stay rooted
when answers don't come quickly.
Let my doubt turn into deeperfaith.
You alone have the words oflife and I'm not walking away,

(02:12):
amen.
Now one last thing.
If you're still holding on,even with tears in your eyes,
that's called faith.
I'll see you next weekend.
