"21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”. 23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”. 24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:21-24)
All my life the Lord has been showing marvelous things that only He can do. He has blessed me and has lead me every step of the way until i reached the place where I am right now.
He's shown me how much He loves me and how much he cares for me and my family.
But still, I often end up doubting if He'll see me through the situation I am facing. And I still question whether He will provide for my future. I still doubt whether He has plans for me and my family.
Is it because I still think that everything I have right now are results of all the efforts I have exerted? Is it because I still believe that I am the reason for who and what I am right now? Have I not learned anything from all the studies I have attended? Have I not learned from my own life as it has unfolded before my very own eyes.
Heavenly Father, dear Lord Jesus, forgive your son for his pride. Allow your son to realize that nothing he has achieved was from his own effort. Let him realize that his strength will not allow him to reach even a step into where he is now. That he is who he is because you made him that way.
I do believe, Lord. I do believe. Help me overcome my unbelief.
