Faith That Comes with a Lifetime Warranty: What Happens to Faith When You Doubt?

Here's a pretty picture to be replaced with sketches soon.
Doubt.
Are you afraid of it?
Do you do everything you can to avoid it? 

It's very nice of you to try to not break your faith. But what happens when you do doubt? Do you give up, or take it to the manufacturer with the receipt? We did not buy our faith, it was bought with the sacrifice of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the receipt, and when our faith is weak we can take it to God to get it fixed. Lifetime guarantee. Your faith is expensive, why give up on something when you have such a warranty on it? You give up because you do not value the cost of it, and let doubt take over. You don't have to give up on faith when you doubt, and you don't have to fix it yourself. Take it back to the manufacturer to get it fixed!

I want to make an art work themed on the promises of God, hope, and the seal of the Holy Spirit. Problem is, that's all very churchy lingo. How do I translate this message into the visual language?


I can see a mixed media triptych,  am not sure about all of the elements or the content of the elements. I was thinking of using some seals of some sort, the wax stampy kind. Or threads, things torn and pieced together. What does a contract look like without words?
