Lord, I Believe; Help My Unbelief

Lord, I Believe; Help My Unbelief

Mark’s gospel gives us one of my very favorite prayers in Scripture for both its insight and relatability. In chapter 9, we read the story of a boy possessed by a demonic spirit that brought great torment to the child as well as distress to his dad. When Jesus told the father that anything was possible for the one who believes, the man exclaimed, “Lord, I believe, help my unbelief!” I want to encourage you today to make this short but profound prayer your own. Whatever impossibility you’re facing, or miracle you’re seeking, know that the Father sees the flicker of faith in your heart despite the temptation to give in to unbelief. Keep praying, dear friend. All things are possible with God. Now that’s something to pray about!
