Good Morning!!
In today's scripture we find one of most honest prayers in the whole Bible. A
man has come to Jesus with a son who is possessed by a violent, and evil
spirit. The man desperately asks if Jesus is able to help him. Jesus
tells him, "All things are possible to him who believes." Perhaps our
most honest responses to God at this point are the same words that the
father of the demonized child exclaimed to Jesus:
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"—Mark 9:24 (NIV)
Belief in God is: confidence in a more powerful Person,...finding comfort in the midst of pain,...being candid about our problems,...being convinced of God’s promises,...being courageous and consistent in our actions. These are the very backbones, of our Christian belief. Even as you wrestle with doubt, hold tight to your faith.

Lord, we do believe,...but help our unbelief. Amen
"...in our time, the problem doesn't appear to
be that people worship MANY
gods;
it's that they don't worship ANY god."
it's that they don't worship ANY god."
