You\u2019re a new believer or a longtime Christ follower, and you have questions\u2014big questions<\/strong> you want to ask God.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter what stage of your spiritual journey you are in; there are always thoughts and questions that pop up, possibly even surprising us, that we just do not know how to answer. But they\u2019re also the sort of thoughts that might challenge the authority of God, Jesus, or the Bible.<\/p>\n

Are these thoughts acceptable? Yes.<\/p>\n

Are you able to ask God your questions, even if you think they\u2019re questions that he wouldn\u2019t like? Yes.<\/p>\n

Will you be judged for wanting to ask God tough questions? No.<\/p>\n

Are there any reasons to be afraid to ask God your questions? No.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re actually invited to ask God questions, to put before him all that is on your heart. God is not afraid of any thoughts you may have, for he is the Almighty who can and will answer any question you may have about God, the Bible, Jesus or the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

So long as your question comes from a genuine place and you\u2019re really prepared to hear his answer, there are no questions you can ask God that are off-limits.<\/p>\n
