The father instantly cried out, "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!"
—Mark 9:24 NLT
Key Thought
All through this story, each of the people involved is so genuine about his emotions and faith. Rather than pretending he had full faith, the father acknowledged he believed, but needed help in overcoming his doubt. I don't know about you, but this is where I often find myself during a period of testing in my life. Imagine how powerful this honest prayer to help us overcome our unbelief can be in our lives!
Today's Prayer
O Abba Father, I believe, but please help my faith to grow stronger and to become more confident so that I can serve you in more powerful ways ... to your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
