Doubt in the Bible: Genesis 18:10-14
When told that she would bear a son in her old age, Sarah laughed and didn't believe it. In a similar way, it's tempting to question some of God's promises--will He really return and wipe away sin? Would He really send His son to die for sinful people? But as this passage reminds us, nothing is impossible for God, no matter how unlikely it seems from our human perspective.

Depression in the Bible: Psalm 73:1-28
The writer of this psalm experiences deep, wrenching emotions that we might recognize as depression or despair: his heart was grieved and his spirit embittered; he could not break out of his bleak mood alone. He finds strength and encouragement only in God and His faithfulness.

Thomas in the Bible: John 20:24-31
Doubt is not a new phenomenon--one of Jesus' own disciples couldn't bring himself to believe in Christ's resurrection without seeing physical proof! Jesus graciously supplies that proof, but encourages us nevertheless to have faith even in the absence of scientific proof.

Gideon in the Bible: Judges 6:1-40
Gideon, like many of the judges of the Old Testament, is a curious hero. He wanted tangible evidence of God's favor before he carried out his tasks--and he asked for it, more than once. This story of Gideon's requests for proof and God's patient responses makes for an enlightening read.
