Why do you believe?

The other night I had a conversation with a friend about faith. He was telling me he was starting to doubt and he wasn't sure if God was there for him. He then followed that with, "Why do you believe?" 
Here is how I responded: 

because He has shown me himself in so many ways that make no sense, like through my first relationship he carried me the whole way through.
coming out here to FLI...was just amazing. He showed me my strengths and where He wants me and what passions He has given me.
In the little things with the friends and family he has blessed me with.
In just looking back to where my storms were and seeing that He was there the entire time even when I felt nothing

there are times I wonder where He is and why I am going through something, like now, but even in this time of doubt I have to remember all the times He brought me through before and know He is going to do it again

That is why I believe

After responding...I just felt this wash of peace and happiness surround me. I have no idea where I am going next. There are times I feel so incredibly alone but it is in those moments when I am not. He has been there through it all and He will continue to do that. And He will do that because, it's so simple, He loves me. After my reason why I believe, my friend asked, "then why doubt?" Excellent question! I have no idea why I doubt...because I am human and I give into my insecurities of not being able to do it on my own. But the truth is I don't have to. My all time favorite artist is Britt Nicole. Her songs just speak so much truth into my life and I can relate to pretty much all of them in some way. I sent these lyrics to a friend the other day. It's from the song 'Straight for your heart.' 

He has made some big promises for us and He will never let us down.

You don’t have to walk this road alone
I’ll hold you, hold you
You don’t have to live this life alone
I know you, know you

Hidden in the tunnel
I’ll be there
Even when you can’t fly
I’ll be there
