it is hard, no one says it was going to be easy.
i once thought that if i had doubts and sins in my heart, i've no business in church whatsoever. no right to serve, no right to be in the presence of God. but it struck me that if it is so, no one would be in church. In defense to my last statement i'm not saying that just live with your doubts and go about your christian life with that elephant in the room, never addressing it. What i'm saying is go to church with an open heart to hear God or rather listen to God. When there are doubts in your heart it can go two ways
1) oh i have doubts and therefore i should now be less confident of being a christian
2) is this a burden God has placed in my heart?

How to serve God with doubts in your heart? i think what has happened is that these doubts have turned into guilt unknowingly inside you and this wound of guilt and doubts have been festering making it unseemingly harder to come to terms with. I hope you'll move on from it being a festering wound of guilt and doubt into a burden that you can use to serve God with. Its a total 360 degrees turn from the angle you are coming at and i hope that you do not think I'm trying to sound godly or anything but rather that I'mas broken as you are if not more.

Sometimes you want answers to burning questions. but what if sometimes answers to questions are more questions, just more and more questions, more and more questions. These questions would take a lifetime to approach and analyse and account for, more than anyone on earth can sacrifice? In addition, some answers do not not answer but question. In that case, answers make more sense if you have derived them yourself. Threfore i urge you to consider why sometimes people in church dont give you answers, but questions. I've come to the conclusion myself that nobody's answers make more sense to me that my own answers. You may think then why bother asking anyone at all? i think that its is a journey that you must embark on to answer your own question.

i mean look at it with a changed attitude. What if this is an oppotunity not a crisis? It may not seem that way now when you are confused and just seeking an answer, but i assure you everything happens for a reason.

Well if i want to be an advocate of advice to you, i guess i also have to admit my shortcomings. I want to explain why i have not come to church for the past month. Just having noticed it myself, i was using work as an excuse not to come to church but whats the real underlying reason, could it be that i was trying to avoid? avoid people who seems to be superior than me in action and thoughts? avoid people who care for me knowing that i've let then down once again? guilty and worn out from the mask i was wearing i decided it was way easier to avoid. cowardice you may call it. However now, i realise that the farce i wear in church is becoming way too thin and i'm determined not to be two faced anymore. I'm coming back different from before. determined to be nicer and care for the poepl around me who care. Learn from my mistakes, avoidance is the key to not getting your answers.

Lastly i just want to say that God may have noticed us sticking to one gift that he has given us, and that we focus so much on this particular gift that we neglect our other gifts. It may be for this purpose, that he wants us to develope the other bigger gift he has placed in your life, that he dormants the gift we are so keen in. to readjust our focus, to remember that all gifts are from him and that no gift should be bigger than the maker/giver of these gifts themselves. If we could realise, maybe just worshipping God without the baggage of noticing anything else then could be a lesson God wants us to learn.

Having said all that i just want to leave everyone with food for thought;
When God is the greatest moral, how can you call someone without God more moral than you.

p.s. we all care, really and we hope that you will be able to stand on your feet soon. Work this burden for you and not as a guilt against you. On a lighter note, this isnt something i tell guys often but i'm just a phonecall away, i could be your listening ear.
