Isaiah 44:8
Do not fear, or be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? You are my witnesses! Is there any god besides me? There is no other rock; I know not one.
*       *        *        *       *        *        *
I knew a guy who dealt with his doubts about God one day by leaning into them.  He intentionally chose to be an unbeliever for a day.  He told me it only lasted a day because of the restless, fearful night he spent feeling alone inside his own skin.  It was less frightening to deal with the doubts than to deal with a room without hope. Though the doubts don't magically go away, the promises are still the best offer ever made and through Jesus, ever kept.  There is no other rock.  I know not one. 
*       *      *       *        *        *        *
Sometimes I crawl into your arms and sometimes I leap, Lord. Amen.
