Doubts

Your conscience, which often tells you what's right and what's wrong, may create doubts in your mind when you're hiding the presence of the dark side of life and not sharing it with others, and not knowing whether others are just doing the same.

You may even begin to tell lies about the things happening in your life, and doubt if others are also doing the same. Doubts only make you less confident about yourself, depriving you of self-belief, which is self-efficacy. 

With faith and trust in God, you gain your freedom to trust yourself and others, instead of lying and not telling the truth about anything and everything in your life. Your belief in honesty is everything in your belief in God.

Yes, others may distort and lie about the truths concerning you and use them for their own selfish purposes. With faith, you give them the benefit of the doubt—God teaches you about not judging others. In real life, there’re many things that are beyond your control. With faith, you control your own doubt of self and of others.

With the gift of self-belief from God, you can accomplish anything in your life destined by God. Accordingly, you won’t compare yourself with others; or with your own past; instead, you’ll focus on your strengths, your goals, and your values that all come from God.

Living without faith and in the flesh, many are doubting others and themselves, and thus creating unknowingly their stress response, preparing them for the stress ahead, that is, others are also not telling them the truths. Stress is the prelude to their anxiety, fear, and worry—all the negative emotions of depression and other mental disorders.

Living by faith: You know the truth of telling the truths. No one can change the behaviors of others, let alone their own thinking minds of doubts and not telling the truths. God will always nudge you to tell the truths, and nothing but the truths because God is the truth of all things.
