“Faith without doubt is fanaticism.”

I signed up for the Georgetown Lenten reflection series online, and it has been a wonderful source for my own reflections. Today’s reflection was about doubting God and questioning God, but nonetheless being loved by the God one cannot fully seem to trust.

During a year of some poignant lows and lots of questioning—about myself, my purpose, my vocation, my future, my happiness, my goals, and my faith—I have not relied on my faith nearly as much as I could have. I want to see going to church, reflecting on my faith, deepening my relationship with God as privileges and joys; now I am budgeting time and forsaking some of the things that are most important to me.

Selfishly I ask God to renew and revive my love and enthusiasm for His calling and our relationship.
