b'I believe in You\\nAnd then I don\\u2019t\\nI trust in You\\nThen I get scared\\nI waver and doubt\\nI mess up and hide\\nI don\\u2019t cling to You like I should\\nI rest in peace\\nAnd then I wake scared\\nI cry to You\\nThen I turn away\\nI stumble and fall\\nI don\\u2019t live like I know I should\\nTake imperfect me\\nKeep me close to You \\u2022 Emily Acker\\n.\\n\\u2022 Even when we give up on God, He never gives up on us (Luke 19:10; 2\\nTimothy 2:13). When we are doubting, He remains with us, always patient and\\nmerciful (Hebrews 13:5; Jude 1:22). How can these truths give us hope when\\nwe feel far away from God?\\n.\\n\\u2022 Read Colossians 2:6-15. When we start to doubt God, how could it be\\nhelpful to look at Jesus and remember the good news of what He has done for\\nus? (If you want to know more about this good news, check out our \\u201cKnow\\nJesus\\u201d page).\\n.\\n\\u2022 Throughout our lives, we all have questions, frustrations, and concerns\\nabout Christianity. Who are trusted Christians in your life you can talk to\\nabout these things?\\n.\\nTherefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,\\nJesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do\\nnot have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but\\nwe have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are\\u2014yet he did\\nnot sin. Let us then approach God\\u2019s throne of grace with confidence, so\\nthat we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.\\nHebrews 4:14-16 (NIV)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nPs.119.176|Col.2.6-Col.2.15|Heb.4.14-Heb.4.16'
