I pray a lot and try to make God the centre of my life in everything I do. But every now and then I start having doubts about His existence. I try to remind myself of all the blessings I have received in my life and pray to God to strengthen my faith but sometimes these thoughts creep into my head. What to do?

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't really praying for a job at the time, and just convinced myself that everything would be ok.. The job found me as I was asked to apply for it. Now I am in the same position, I lost my job 3 months ago, and am now praying for an opportunity to come my way. feeling down and depressed, need a good new job..

Hello all, I was just thinking the other day of all the good things that have happened in my life. I pray to God for good things to happen, and when they do happen, is this God at work or is it just luck. Example, I was made redundant from a job I really loved last year, within a week I found a job which was great. Was this just luck or was God really helping me?

Thanks for the replies. The work for which I am striving for is in a completely different industry to which I am currently doing. I am not looking to disadvantage anyone or climb over anyone or deceive anyone to get this work, just earn more money, that is, I suppose, one of my primary motivators. I really feel that I need a higher income than I am getting now. Does this qualify for coveting, since I really really desire this position?

Hello all, I have some queries on covetousness. I have long thought about how I can increase my income and have set my sights on getting this one job which has almost become an obsession. I pray to God everyday, but is it wrong for me to want to better myself to have more money so that I can have a secure and stable future for me and my family? Should I be content with what I have and just continue the way I am going? I am confused with the tenth commandment about covetousness, what is ok to desire and what is not? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. God Bless

Thank you all for your responses I really appreciate it. God Bless

Hi all, In the last couple of months I lost my job, a job that I loved coming to work for and worked with a lot of good people. I have now started a new job which is not so secure. Lately I have been very sad and worried about the future, I just can't seem to shake it off, I read the Bible where it says not to worry, I pray to God to take this fear and sadness away from me, but it stays. Its really crippling me, sometimes I have trouble falling asleep. I sometimes manage to convince myself all is well, and that God will look after us as he always has, but those same feelings keep coming back, it is affecting my self confidence, I really don't know what to do and am feeling quite weak now, I do not tell anyone about it, not even my wife, as I feel I should be the strong one. Brothers and sisters please pray for me. God Bless you all.
