Thomas has some serious doubts -- which was no different than the other ten disciples who did not believe until they say Jesus in person = AWAKENED!

Doubt in the Bible is not something that is condemned.

Steps from Thomas to Move from Doubt to Belief:
1. Thomas was honest about his doubts.

"Christ can always distinguish between doubt and unbelief. Doubt is "can't believe." Unbelief is "won't believe." Doubt is looking for light; unbelief is being content with the darkness."
John Drummond

The Bible tells us to:
~ Confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord. (we say we believe)
~ Repent of our sins and then respond to our belief by being baptized.
~ If this is you, set up a time for private baptism. (you are an answer to prayer!)
