Read the end of each Gospel. When Jesus was at his worst moments, and all seemed lost, and the disciples were distraught about the turn of events, the rock was removed from the entrance to the tomb, and Jesus was seen again, just as he said it would happen. There's a message of faith there, faith no matter what happens.
Also, you are not doubt. Doubt is a part of you and all of us. The fact that you can see the doubt means you are on your way to believing. Just be aware of doubt, don't struggle with it and it will fade in the light of your realizations. Doubting the doubt is the same as starting to believe again.
Doubt, fear, and many other negative things are not a part of the true kingdom. Realizing that they have no place in your true life hidden in God is a way to the right path. Just don't struggle and fight with doubt, but realize the wrong away.

Well, that depends. If you truly believe in God, then you understand that whatever it is that God does, it is for a reason. In Islam, all the trials and tribulations one faces is one of the signs of His love. God does have His own ways of doing things, and most of the time we do not understand. But think of this, whatever happens, you are still alive. You're still breathing, so He still loves you enough to let you live your life, to look at other options and alternatives, to turn things around; to live. If it is your religion that you doubt, then he has given you the chance to find to truth. So the best thing you can do is to look for Him again. Clear the doubt and get close to Him again. He's always there for you; you just have to find the path to Him.

faith isn't when things are just going right; God doesn't cause evil to happen due to the free will of man but he does promise to always be there for us; God is like love , you can't see it ; you can't touch it but you know that it is there ;sometimes it consumes your entire being and you have no other thoughts but love; you can see a gesture of love, a hug , a written note etc; God is the same, you see his gestures of love all around us; from our bodies that cleanse, beat , breathe , filter without us having to think twice about it ; from the protection of the atmosphere , gravity, oxygen, carbon dioxide trade off ; from the colors that we see; the sounds that we hear, the beauty of a bird in flight; a perfect snowflake falling and making everything white and pure; a raindrop clinging to a leaf; the best orchestra music that you ever heard; the sound of laughter and even the tears that roll down someones face; all gestures of love , he provided for us, protected us and gave us the means to live; he gave us cures in his pharmacy , nature ; it is like a parent, you don't reward bad behavior but you always are there no matter what ; you hope that your children find the way to you if they stray; God's gestures are all over and his plan is his plan; give him a chance no matter what b/c he has your back if let it be that way; Merry Christmas

life does throw us obsticles. I for sure have had my fair share of them. Through prayer, meditation, and study we become closer to God and understand "why" things are happening. It is normal to doubt what we don't understand. I too struggle with this. God speaks to us in so many ways. Through songs, our surroundings, friends, family. You just have to listen. In your heart and soul the answer is there to whatever is causing the doubt. Just remember, we you follow the lord there is always evil tempting you, causing doubt in your heart, and trying to make you sad. Just pray, spend time with him and you will recieve your answers. Just remember, God is looking at the BIG picture of your life not just the right now. So even if you don't understand "why" things are the way they are, keep your faith strong and pull closer to him and he will lead you down the right path. God bless.

Sounds to me like self doubt and self pity to me. You need to buck up and work on developing some confidence to face your circumstances regardless of how good, bad, or indifferent head on. I doubt the very existence of God and haven't any problems with that view or feeling. Yes I do feel that there may/might be something out there that's greater than me...In fact there is it's called the collective spirit of Humanity. However misplaced that's where my faith lies. Stand tall...breathe deeply and acknowledge that you're FINE regardless of how crappy or good things are and do that without worry about God. PEACE & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Practice, practice, practice. To show that you've learned something, there needs to be a change in behavior. Next time you have a chance to not doubt God, don't doubt God.
He is faithful to His Word. Much success with you and your walk. Blessings.

Satan wants you to doubt God & His awesome power in UR life. He (Satan) doesn't want you living for the Lord, so that you will be a light unto a dark world.
You grow, as you learn more of God & learn to depend on God more. Then you will be a light unto the people in this dark world & then others would desire to have what you have as a Christian. Just as I desired to have what my aunt & uncle had in their life: they handled things so much better then the rest of the world, because of their belief in Jesus in their lives.
Just as Jesus uses people to be a good influence, Satan uses people to confuse & abuse you.

By thinking positive!
Push all negative thoughts from your mind, they are not of God. Positive thinking brought me very close to God (I started in March 07) and it has stayed with me since.
When you positively believe, your doubts will fade very quickly.
Good luck and God bless.

The key to your problem may be the use of the word "learn". Learning implies knowledge and evidence, and you aren't going to get your doubts lifted going that route. Faith is the key, and faith comes as a gift from God, not through human knowledge.
Read the Bible, pray for more faith (and get ready for your faith to be tested to build it!), and look back on past experiences where you have felt God at work in your life. If you don't have enough of those, or relevent experiences to get you through a current crisis, it may help to hear the testimonies of other believers you trust who have had experiences similar to yours and can tell you how God delivered them.
Don't look for signs and wonders and for God to only work in the way you want or expect Him to--keep your heart open to experiencing Him on His terms. Repent from any known sin in your life that may be giving Satan a stronghold to make you doubt. Live according to the knowledge and faith that you already possess--God won't reveal more truth to you until you are walking in the truth you already have.
Some people also find it helpful to manage their environment so that they are being better spiritually fed throughout the day--listen to Christian/inspirational music or messages, read not only the Bible but other Christian literature, and be careful about what you are watching on TV or viewing online. Surround yourself with caring Christian people who will uplift and encourage you rather than those who will feed your doubts.
I'm reminded of the verses in Psalms 1 that speak to this:
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
"A tree planted by the waters" sounds like a symbol of unshakable faith, don't you think?
I'm including a link to my favorite online Bible search engine. I use it a lot to look up verses or topical information in the Bible--you may find it helpful to look up verses related to the topics of "faith" and "doubt".

I hope you continue to doubt; it's a sign that your brain is still functioning. The physicist Richard Feynman recommended that you always question, always doubt, always test. The Buddha suggested that you test everything. Likewise, you should always be suspicious of "god".
