Jesus said to him, ‘If you are able! All things can be done for the one who believes.’ Immediately the father of the child cried out, ‘I believe; help my unbelief!’ Mark 9:23-24
How often do we need to pray this prayer - Lord I believe; help my unbelief? It's not that I don't have faith in God, it's that I often don't have faith in myself - I sometimes don't trust that I will listen to God and do what he wants me to do. And I know, when I do that, I am making the same mistake that most non-believers and marginal believers make. Placing myself above God's ability to work. So I ask the Lord, when I doubt myself, please remind me that You are in charge, and you will bring about your will. Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!
Thanks for the reminder!
