Doubt

In every area of my life, I seem to be most effected by doubt.
Doubt that my crush likes me
Doubt that I'll make a good grade on an assignment
Doubt that anyone will like me if I introduce myself
Really anything I can think of qualifies in the category of doubt.

Lately I've been doubting that a guy likes me. My past is the reason why this happens to me. I've been hurt, like roughly every teenage girl has, by a guy, and it is really hard to just let go and like someone after that. My brain tricks me into thinking that the guy I know likes me, does not. It's almost ridiculous. Reassurance works for a while, but I just can't get a hold of myself and just let go. God is just now showing me how to trust in Him in situations like this and remember that He has a plan.

"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt,
because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea,
blown and tossed by the wind."
James 1:6 (NIV)

This is one of my favorite verses. God shows that if you ask Him for something, you have to believe in it, because if you don't, it will just mess you up and keep you from being concentrated on the more important things.

Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered. When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked. Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” 
Matthew 21:18-22 (NIV)

This passage makes me think of how powerful God is. With our trust and faith in God, we can do anything. Literally, nothing is impossible. And if things didn't work out how you'd hoped, then you know for a fact that it wasn't a part of God's plan.

But this obviously is not even close to narrowed down to just relationships. That's just a reoccurring doubt in my life.

"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 (NLT)"
