“Where doubt and uncertainty are there faith is not, nor can it be. For doubt and faith do not exist in the same person at the same time; that persons whose minds are under doubts and fears cannot have unshaken confidence; and where unshaken confidence is not the faith is weak.” Joseph Smith, Lectures on Faith
I simply love this quote. It is so important to remember this as we go through trials and challenges in this crazy world we live it. So often, we get decieved into thinking that our doubt and uncertainty are just what we are feeling at the moment and does not affect or alter our faith and sadly that is what Satan would have us think, for in this state we are in his power. We need to quickly realize that doubt and fear cannot coexist, and when we doubt we are willingly putting our faith aside. We need to use our faith in Christ to stand up boldly for truth, even if we are standing up against ourselves and our own doubt and uncertainty.
