(1) Identify the source of the doubt (fear, false thought) -- not just the immediate source but the ultimate source! Who is the father of lies? And what does the Scripture say about the deceitfulness of sin and the wickedness of our hearts?
(2) Identify the underlying assumptions about God's goodness, myself, the sufficiency of Christ, etc.
(3) Raise doubts about the doubt (fear, false thought). Challenge it. Say NO to it!
(4) Replace the assumption with a more biblical one. Remind your mind and heart of God's truth.

Pryderi -- indeed it is. Which is why I'm grateful for the Church.
