Can I Question God and Still Have Faith?

Short answer: Yes.

You can question God and still have faith. In fact, asking honest questions can be a big part of growing your faith.

God Isn’t Afraid of Your Questions

Throughout the Bible, people asked God hard questions:

• “Why, Lord, do you stand far off?” – Psalm 10:1

• “How long, Lord, must I call for help?” – Habakkuk 1:2

• Even Jesus asked, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” – Matthew 27:46

These weren’t signs of weak faith — they were real, raw prayers from people who still believed in God, even when they didn’t understand Him.

Faith Isn’t Always Having the Answers

Faith doesn’t mean we never doubt or struggle. It means we trust God in the middle of those doubts.

Faith says: “God, I don’t understand what You’re doing… but I still believe You’re good.”

When you bring your questions to God, you're not running away from Him — you're running to Him. And that’s faith.

Bring Your Questions to God in Prayer

Don’t be afraid to ask:

• “God, why is this happening?”

• “What do You want me to do?”

• “Are You really there?”

He listens. He cares. And even if you don’t get all the answers right away, you’ll get His presence, His peace, and His love.

Final Thought

Yes — you can question God and still have faith.In fact, honest questions can lead to deeper trust and a stronger relationship with Him.

So keep asking. Keep seeking. Keep walking with Him.
