Some students think doubt means they are failing God. It does not.
Doubt can be a doorway to deeper trust when you bring your questions honestly.
John 20:27-29
BSB
27 Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Jesus did not shame Thomas. He met him. That tells us what kind of Savior we have.
Permission: ask the hard question, open Scripture, talk with a trusted leader, keep walking.
Faith is not pretending. Faith is trusting Jesus enough to stay in the conversation.
Tonight: Write one question you are carrying and pray, "Jesus, meet me in this."
