Dear Caitlin,
Is it more important to understand religion and follow all the rules and guidelines, or is it more important to have a strong personal relationship with god?

Dear MKB,
IMO it’s more important to have a strong personal relationship with God. But that doesn’t make us free from all the rules and guidelines. But when we want to love and serve God, we find out that he has his own set of rules designed uniquely for us, and that are really for our own best interest.
Blessings!

Struggling with doubts
Dear Caitlin,
I am struggling with doubt in God and that affects everything else in my life to, what should I do with my doubt? By the way I love your books and I have read the whole serise at least 4 times Please write more

Dear N Z
I think everyone doubts sometimes. I know I do. But what I remind myself of is the way God has always been there for me in the past. I remember the times when he’s felt most real to me and ask myself what has changed? Me or God? It’s always me. God never changes. His love for you never stops. But if you turn your back or close your ears, you don’t experience it—then you begin to doubt. The problem with doubt is that once you give into it, it’s hard to get out of it. Jesus said our faith can be as small as a mustard seed, but if we trust in it, and allow it to grow, it will sustain us through everything.
Blessings!

Non-Christian family
Dear Caitlin,
What do I do about a family who believes differently than I do? Who think everythings OK between them and God and just don't care?
from, BD
Dear BD,
I’m guessing you mean your family. I think the biggest thing you can do for them (besides praying which I assume you already do) is to ask God to let his love shine through you toward them. One of the most life-changing things I’ve seen is when Christians love others UNCONDITIONALLY and with grace. Just remember you can’t do this alone—ask God to love through you and in time things will probably start changing.
Blessings,
Caitlin
