Help My Unbelief: Prayers for a Doubting Student Article

Emily Peters, North Main Kidway Director & Assistant Youth Director

In seasons of doubt, we can struggle to find the words to pray. Rooted Ministry author, Becky Paynter, writes: “It is a guarantee that at some point, every Christian will wrestle with unbelief. While we long to have a certainty of God’s promises, we can doubt and question God’s character and Word. Teenagers are no exception to this struggle”.

Paynter shares a prayer for the doubting teen (or adult) in a season of struggle. If you or your teen struggles to find the words to pray, take some time to read through and even print off this week's resource to give you a starting point. While not every word in this article may speak to the struggle your teen may be having, this can provide a starting point to help them write a prayer of their own that is filled with the truth of God’s character.
