Do you remember the father that brought his son to Jesus that was possessed by an evil spirit? The boy could not speak and it would throw him violently to the ground. Even the disciples could not cast it out. The father asked Jesus to help if he could. Jesus' response was, "What do you mean, 'If I can'? Anything is possible if a person believes."
That is an amazing response from Jesus and the father's answer cuts to the core of where we stand today. "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!"
I believe every word of the Bible to be true and applicable to us today. Sometimes in the midst of whatever crisis or situation that I am facing, I need help in overcoming my unbelief. I know deep in my heart that Jesus can help me or deliver me from any situation that I face. I truly believe that!
It is when I put my eyes on my circumstances that my doubt and unbelief overwhelm me and I am overcome by them. Jesus' words are an encouragement to me that anything is possible if I will just believe and trust in him. Lord, I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief!
Mark 9:24 (NLT) - The father instantly cried out, "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!"
