Help my unbelief
I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief.
Mark 9:24
Faith can move mountains. If you have faith as small as mustard see you can say to this mountain, move from here to there, and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you (Mathew 17:20)
We read these verses in the bible and we tend to have this mustard seed faith, but we don't see mountains in our life move and nothing seems to happen with the faith we have.
Sometimes we have much bigger faith than the size of a mustard seed, but still we struggle to see results. We are still sick, we are still financially broken, or we are still not getting what we have been praying for. Why is that?
The answer is in today's verse. We read in Mark chapter nine about the boy who couldn't speak and he was dumb. The father of the boy asks Jesus to heal his son. Jesus asks an interesting question to the father, do you believe? For which the father replied, yes Lord, I believe, I have this mustard seed faith, but help my unbelief.
Like this father, we also struggle with unbelief. On one side, we believe, but in the flesh, we still have lots of unbelief which cancels our faith and makes it ineffective.
If we have zero unbelief and have only mustard seed faith, then all things are possible says the Lord.
So how remove all the unbelief in us. It is by asking Jesus to overcome our unbelief. Pray and ask Him earnestly with all your heart.
Many times we make the mistake of asking for more faith, without realizing that we need unbelief to be removed.
May the Lord Jesus remove all the unbelief in you and me and may you receive all that you have been believing in.
