I’ve always found myself coming back to the same thought: faith, by its very nature, is not something that we have to perfect, but something we live and grow in. Yet, it can feel unsettling at times when doubts or big questions start creeping in about who God is or what it means to follow Him. If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone—and more importantly, I think it’s completely okay to have those questions.

When I was younger, I thought having faith meant having all the answers. That if I truly believed, I wouldn’t need to ask questions about God or His plan. But as I’ve walked through life, I’ve realized that some of the most profound moments in my spiritual journey came from those seasons of questioning. Doubts aren’t a sign of weak faith—they’re often a sign of deep engagement.

One of the reasons I believe it’s okay, and even good, for Christians to have questions is because it shows that we care enough about our faith to wrestle with it. Imagine a relationship where you never ask any questions or try to understand the other person more fully. It would grow stagnant, wouldn’t it? I think it’s the same with God. Our relationship with Him isn’t meant to be static, and our understanding of Him isn’t supposed to stay the same. Faith is meant to evolve, deepen, and become more personal—and that can only happen when we allow ourselves to engage with our doubts.

The Bible itself is full of people who had questions. Think about David in the Psalms, crying out to God, wondering why He seemed so distant. Or Job, who questioned God through unimaginable suffering. Even Jesus’ disciples, the very ones who walked alongside Him, constantly asked questions because they didn’t fully understand His teachings. God never turned away from them for asking—He welcomed their hearts and gave them room to wrestle with their uncertainty.

If we think about it, how could it be wrong to question God when Jesus Himself encouraged it when he says in:

Matthew 7: 7-8, “Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened

If we try to suppress our questions, we might start to believe that God isn’t big enough to handle them. But I’ve come to realize that He’s more than big enough. He invites us to bring our questions, our doubts, our confusion, and lay it all at His feet. In return, He offers us grace, patience, and the wisdom we need—sometimes in ways we don’t expect.

It’s important to remember that faith doesn’t mean we stop asking questions. In fact, it often means the opposite: we ask more because we trust that God’s love can hold even our deepest uncertainties. We’re not meant to have all the answers, and that’s okay. What matters is that we continue to seek God in the midst of our questions. It’s in that seeking that we grow.

So if you’ve ever wondered if it’s “wrong” to have questions about God or your faith, let me assure you—it’s not. Your questions are a sign of life, a sign that you’re truly engaging with your faith. And God isn’t afraid of your doubts; He’s right there, walking through them with you, offering a hand to guide you deeper into His heart.

Embrace the questions, because through them, you’ll often find a stronger, more authentic faith.
