This blog is for those moments when uncertainty feels uncomfortable and you want to rest with the Savior and the scriptures, without rushing toward certainty.
One of the quiet fears many sincere believers carry
is the fear of being wrong.
Wrong about beliefs.
Wrong about choices.
Wrong about the path they’re walking.
As you grow closer to Jesus, this fear can actually increase —
not because you’re drifting,
but because you care deeply about truth.
And caring about truth makes us humble.
🌱 Fear of Being Wrong Is Often a Sign of Honesty
People who are truly dishonest
are rarely afraid of being wrong.
They are certain.
Rigid.
Closed.
But those who are walking honestly with Jesus
often feel uncertainty more sharply.
Scripture reminds us:
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
(Proverbs 9:10)
This kind of fear isn’t terror.
It’s reverence.
It’s humility.
It’s knowing that truth matters
and that our understanding is always partial.
📖 Jesus Walked With People Who Didn’t Have It All Right
The disciples misunderstood Jesus often.
They argued about greatness.
They misunderstood His mission.
They fled when things became frightening.
And still —
He stayed with them.
“Then Jesus said unto them… why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?”
(Matthew 8:26)
Jesus didn’t abandon them for being wrong.
He taught them.
He walked with them.
He corrected them gently, over time.
🌿 The Book of Mormon: God Honors Desire, Not Perfection
The Book of Mormon speaks tenderly to this fear.
Alma teaches that even a small desire counts:
“Even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you.”
(Alma 32:27)
God does not wait for perfect understanding.
He honors sincerity.
He honors humility.
He honors those who keep walking forward,
even when unsure.
Being wrong at times is not failure.
Refusing to walk forward would be.
🔥 The Nemenhah Records: Walking Without False Certainty
The Nemenhah teachings warn gently against false certainty.
The elders teach that those who claim to know everything
often stop listening.
The Peacemaker invites humility —
a willingness to be taught,
corrected,
and refined along the Way.
The Haymehnay (Holy Spirit) works best in hearts
that remain open.
Fear of being wrong keeps the heart listening.
Pride closes it.
🌱 When You Don’t Know the Next Step Clearly
If you’re standing at a place where:
• you don’t feel certain
• answers feel incomplete
• confidence feels quieter
You are not lost.
You may simply be learning to trust Jesus more than your conclusions.
The Psalmist prayed this simple prayer:
“Teach me thy way, O Lord; and lead me in a plain path.”
(Psalm 27:11)
Walking with Jesus does not require certainty —
it requires teachability.
🕊️ Faith Is Staying With Him Even When You’re Unsure
One of the deepest lessons of walking with Jesus
is realizing that being wrong is not the danger.
Walking away from Him is.
If you’re still choosing honesty…
still choosing humility…
still choosing love…
Then even if you misunderstand something along the way,
you are still walking with Him.
Jesus is not fragile.
Truth is not threatened by sincere questions.
🌿 A Gentle Encouragement
If fear of being wrong is slowing you down,
let it slow you toward Him, not away.
You don’t need perfect clarity to keep walking.
You just need a willing heart.
Jesus is patient with learners.
And every disciple is one.
