Sometimes I wonder if the Church is true. Is there someone I can talk to about my doubts?

Your parents, bishop, and Church leaders are all good people to talk to about this. They can help you sort out your concerns and answer many of your questions.

Most important, however, is asking your Heavenly Father if the Church is true. The Savior has promised that if we ask, we shall receive. But you must ask in faith. To receive answers, you need to listen for the still, small voice of the Holy Ghost. You will also want to repent of sins and eliminate any roadblocks that would make it difficult for the Spirit to communicate with you.

Sometimes God has already answered our prayers and we just aren’t listening. Doctrine and Covenants 8:2–3 says that the Spirit will “tell you in your mind and in your heart.” If you have thought, “When others bear their testimonies, I feel they know the Church is true” or “When I’m at Church, I feel good,” that is one way the Spirit answers prayers. We must listen carefully to the Spirit; learning to do so is a lifelong pursuit.

Your testimony will come from those feelings of peace and calm assurance that the Spirit brings, more than from facts or the testimonies of others. Your testimony is built on faith, which comes from learning and living the gospel.

Gaining a testimony takes patience, effort, and faith. You will likely experience opposition and doubt. Keeping the commandments and remembering those peaceful feelings that come from the Spirit will prepare you to receive the answers you need. And as you continue in faith, you will receive the testimony you seek. (See D&C 88:62–69.)
