Walk By Faith by Haddon: Moving Beyond Doubt


Have you ever struggled with feelings of doubt? Then "Walk By Faith" by Haddon is definitely a song that will help to change your point of view! Haddon wrote this song when he was struggling with doubts. He shares that he felt like Peter when he tried walking on water. He was basing his faith on feelings in that moment, feelings of fear, doubt, and anxiety. Instead of letting those feelings control him, Hadon turned them into a prayer: "Lord take my doubts and throw them all away // I'm sinking down, help me walk by faith."

Haddon - Walk By FaithThe song talks about waiting for signs or emotional highs to feel close to God. But Haddon reminds us, "When faith is just a feeling // It's fleeting." Our feelings may constantly be going to and fro, but God's love for us does not. True trust isn't about what we can see or feel; it's all about stepping forward (the leap of faith) even when we think we can't. Haddon admits, "Took 20 years just to teach my heart // The things I can't see are what I need."

Lines like "Make no provisions for the flesh // Put on Jesus's righteousness" encourage us to stop relying on earthly securities and lean on God's strength. And as we journey on that road of faith, we may still cry out, "I don't need much, just to see if that's enough to part the sea." The song is so honest and relatable; it is as if Haddon is also singing this about my life.

If you have feelings of doubt or feel stuck, don't linger in those feelings. Haddon shares, "I can't think of a single time when sitting in my doubt has got me anywhere, whereas striving to live like Christ makes all the difference." May this song encourage you to keep moving forward in faith to be more like Christ. 

PS: Don't forget to share it with someone who also needs to hear its truth.
