"Lord I Believe..."
“I do believe, help my unbelief!” ~ Mark 9:24
“But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” Jesus said to him, “‘IF YOU CAN!’ Everything is possible to one who has Faith.” Then the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe, help my unbelief!” ~ Mark 9:24

MEDITATION
“…Jesus gazes at you with Love. You have seen that look before. He has provided for you before; He will take care of you now. He is the gift sent to you from God your Father. Nothing can separate you from His love. He is utterly trustworthy. He tells you, “Have faith also in me” (John 14:1). Tell Him, I believe in you, Lord. Help my unbelief...”
PRAYER
“Jesus, I believe in you. I hope and trust in you!”

MEDITATION
"... intercessory prayer has two essential components: Proclaiming our Faith and Crying Out to the Lord. And that’s exactly what today’s Gospel reading shows us.
... the man utters one of the shortest prayers in the whole Bible: “I do believe, help my unbelief!” In just a few words, he has perfectly encapsulated both of the necessary components of prayer.
... First, he says, “I do believe…” (Mark 9:24). Perhaps he has heard stories about Jesus’ healing power or life-giving words. With the confidence of a new and growing faith, he decides to bring his son to Jesus. He hopes that the confidence he is beginning to feel will be rewarded by a miracle.
But next, he says, “Help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24). As confident as he is, the man also realizes his weakness. Maybe his new faith isn’t all that strong yet; maybe he has some doubts that Jesus can heal his son—especially since the disciples couldn’t do it.
... Keep these two components together, and you’ll feel God’s presence wash over you like cool, clear water."
PRAYER
“I believe, Lord! Help my unbelief.”
