       And because they fear they won’t get what they want, they doubt when they go to ask God for help. This is why doubting is bad, and why we are not to live on a negative level of thinking. Doubting is negative. How does one overcome doubt? By surrendering the desire for wisdom, that’s how. When a person goes to God in prayer and asks for the understanding, the person should say to themselves, “I will be happy if God gives me the answer, and I will be happy also if he chooses not to.” You might say, “But isn’t that doubting! You are saying to yourself that God may not help you!” Actually, it isn’t. Doubting is when a person genuinely believes that God doesn’t want to help them, or just won’t help them for whatever reason. The strong-minded person knows God will help them. But they are surrendered to the desire for that help. In other words, what matters is God, and whether or not the answer is received is secondary. There’s not too tight a grip.
