Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all doing well and are okay.

This might be a weird question or thought but do you ever doubt and question your “worthiness” to talk to God?

Does that make sense?

Our dignity lies in being created in the image and likeness of the Holy Trinity. But, we are sinners.

“I believe, O Lord, and I confess that You are truly the Christ, the Son of the living God, who came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am first”.

Our loving Lord desires that we talk to Him! Trust Him…Love Him…ask for His grace.

do you ever doubt and question your “worthiness” to talk to God?

No. I’m supposed to be having a loving relationship with God. If I wasn’t allowed to talk to him, it wouldn’t be much of a relationship. I wouldn’t even be able to express to him my unworthiness or lowliness or my sorrow for sins.

God also has said we’re supposed to pray. Jesus even gave us a specific prayer to say, in Scripture. Praying is talking to God. So God apparently wants us to talk to him.

Also, many people in Scripture weren’t any better than me, and they are depicted as conversing with God.

This might be a weird question or thought but do you ever doubt and question your “worthiness” to talk to God?

No. God is everything and we are nothing, yet Jesus instructed us to have faith, hope and love. We must be humble yes, but not fall into despair.

I would, but God invites us to enter into relationship with Him, and Jesus calls us His friends and told us to call His Father our Father.

So it’s okay.

This might be a weird question or thought but do you ever doubt and question your “worthiness” to talk to God?

Does that make sense?

Yes, it makes sense and yes, I have felt unworthy to even approach God. I know He wants me to come to Him–in my head. In my heart, I’ve had periods in my spiritual life that I felt so incredibly unworthy. And I AM unworthy. But He still invites us, implores us, to approach Him and accept His love and salvation. In some ways I have envied those who are so certain in their faith, but I have and do ‘work through my salvation’–I CHOOSE to believe and approach God despite my feelings of unworthiness.

You’ll find many of the frequent posters here are very solid in their faith, which is great and something I truly admire. But I relate to those struggling, questioning, and persevering in their faith whilst carrying around significant doubts and feelings of unworthiness.
