Interesting question.

I've been through some crap.  And while plugging through my crap, I never lost faith.  Doubt didn't enter.  In fact, just the opposite… I grew stronger in faith.

Losing faith in other people, happens to be something I've had an issue with more than once.  Because I have such strong faith, it is easy for me to place that faith in someone else…. when in reality, the faith should have only been placed in me.

I've learned that Every Single Time I place my faith in someone, I Will Be Disappointed.  Why?  My faith doesn't belong anywhere outside of myself.  And when I do that, I'm just asking for trouble (and always get it).

We all have our lessons, and faith has been a strong part of my life since I can remember.  (And I remember being in diapers!  How crazy is That?)

Alleviating doubt?  I don't think it is something to alleviate.  Doubt is something one brings.

So if you don't want to doubt, don't bring it.
