Jesus please seek this stranger who has wandered from the fold of God. Please rescue me from the danger of unbelief and doubt. Guard my heart from judging others and letting hypocritical actions influence my decision whether you are real or not. Let me get a glimpse of the big picture, and give me perspective in the disheartening struggle. In your name Jesus, Amen.

There’s no danger in unbelief unless there really is a God who sends people to hell for being honest about their doubts.
Mike,
Questioning ideas and beliefs is healthy and should be done. However, for me I have been noticing some dangers in my doubt and unbelief. For example, dismissing someone’s viewpoint just because I think they are acting hypocritical (I believe this is a logical fallacy). I’ve also noticed that I’ve been more arrogant in my beliefs, or lack of, and looking down on other’s who don’t struggle or think about the stuff I think and struggle with. I also constantly struggle with bitterness, which I think is a big problem for those struggling in the middle. Anyway, that’s what I meant about the danger of doubt.
Ahhh, ok, I understand and agree that those are dangers. Thank you for clarifying. Yes, just because someone is hypocritical does not mean what they believe is wrong, otherwise everything would be wrong.
