22“…If you can do anything, please have pity on us and help us.”
23 Jesus said to the father, “Why did you say ‘if you can’? All things are possible for the one who believes.”
24 Immediately the father shouted, “I do believe. Help me to believe more!”
I can so hear myself saying those words of that father at times.
In the situation above (Mark 9:22b-24), the dad’s son had an evil spirit in him since he was a very young age. The dad had had it! And he knew Who could save his boy.
He knew Jesus could heal his son, but there was still that hint of doubt in his mind.
I’ve so often done the same thing with God. I go to give it all to Him, but then hang on to a tad bit of my situation as if I wasn’t quite sure He would handle it for me. I totally knew He could, but would He was more of the issue.
During those times, that’s when I need to fall down on my knees, throw my hands us to heaven, and confess, “I do believe! I truly do! Help me believe without a shadow of a doubt.”
Do you need to believe more that God’s got your situation when you give it to Him? Don’t doubt Him. Believe Him. Release yourself from it all, and give it all to God.
I believe. I believe. I believe!
Blessings to you!
