Mark 9:24

“Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, ‘I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!'”

Application:

This verse acknowledges the tension between faith and doubt. The father in the story holds a raw and honest expression of his heart — he believes, but also grapples with unbelief. It’s a reminder that faith is a journey, and it’s okay to seek God’s help in overcoming our doubts. Despite our uncertainties, God meets us with grace and is ready to strengthen our faith if we humbly ask.

Custom Prayer:

Lord, thank You for understanding my heart even when it is filled with conflicting feelings. Like the father in this verse, I believe yet find myself wrestling with unbelief. Please help me overcome my doubts and fortify my faith through each challenge and season of life. Grant me the courage to voice my struggles to You and the assurance that You embrace me in my vulnerability. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
