living God. All He asks of you is to put your trust in Him, acknowledging Him as your
faithful Saviour, who loves you and has forgiven you all your mistakes and errors.--Lt
299, 1904.
673 {2MCP 672.4}
No Thought of Doubt to See Light of Day.--Watch as faithfully as did Abraham lest
the ravens or any birds of prey alight upon your sacrifice and offering to God. Every
thought of doubt should be so guarded that it will not see the light of day by utterance.
Light always flees from words which honor the powers of darkness. The life of our risen
Lord should be daily manifested in us.--Lt 7, 1892. (2SM 243.) {2MCP 673.1}
Chronic Doubter Centers on Self.--It is a great misfortune to be a chronic doubter,
keeping the eye and thoughts on self. While you are beholding self, while this is the
theme of thought and conversation, you cannot expect to be conformed to the image of
Christ. Self is not your savior. You have no redeeming qualities in yourself. "I" is a very
leaky boat for your faith to embark in. Just as surely as you trust yourself in it, it will
founder. {2MCP 673.2}
The lifeboat, to the lifeboat! This is your only safety. Jesus is the Captain of the

phase of our life. He knows of our discouragements, and He knows just what help we
need. We want a faith in Him, a faith that works by love and purifies the soul.--MS 41,
1908. {2MCP 673.5}
Faith grows by conflicts with doubts; virtue gathers strength by resistance to
temptation.--YI, Apr, 1873. {2MCP 673.6}
Cherish Faith.--There is no encouragement given for unbelief. The Lord manifests
His grace and His power
674
over and over again, and this should teach us that it is always profitable under all
circumstances to cherish faith, to talk faith, to act faith. We are not to have our hearts
and hands weakened by allowing the suggestions of suspicious minds to plant in our
hearts the seeds of doubt and distrust.--Lt 97, 1898. (7BC 928.) {2MCP 673.7}
Doubt Induces Nervous Diseases.--The assurance of God's approval will promote
physical health. It fortifies the soul against doubt, perplexity, and excessive grief that so
often sap the vital forces and induce nervous diseases of a most debilitating and
distressing character. The Lord has pledged His unfailing word that His eye shall be
