First, I think it is important to say that it is okay to struggle in our faith. Far too often we think if we are struggling in our faith, then we aren’t good believers.

Consider the disciples—individuals chosen by Jesus Himself, learning from Him, seeing His miracles firsthand, and at the time of Jesus’ resurrection, they questioned it. The best thing you can do during this time is to actively seek for God. Ask questions of “the great cloud of witnesses [seekers who have lived and died and are now in God’s presence]” that have gone before you (Hebrews 12:1).

Many believers appear to have it all together, but don’t. They have struggled in their faith walk, but as they have been faithful and sought God, they have learned more about Him and been reminded of His faithfulness.

When we seek Him and asking questions, God reveals Himself to us, and in turn our trust and faith in Him are strengthened. “You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13, NIV).
