BELIEVING BUT UNBELIEVING!

” ‘ Anything is possible if a person believes.’ The father instantly cried out,’ I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief.’ ” Mark 9: 23 & 24

Is it possible to believe and not believe at the same time? There are times in our lives where we do believe that our Lord will answer our prayers and that we will receive what we ask for. However, there are other times where we pray and ask for something without having strong faith and a solid belief. As we grow as a Christian, we must understand that it is a process. It is a journey we take with Jesus along a path that leads us through solid faith in him and also leads us through times of trouble where we find unbelief raising its ugly head. Even those who were with him here on this earth doubted him at times. They were unsure, but as time went on, they saw his miracles and they believed. We are no different. It takes a lot of prayer and a lot of stepping out into uncomfortable situations, that will help to build our faith and belief in what we are trying to build. As we follow Jesus there will be times when we falter. We will fail because we are human. But with the help of God in heaven, we will succeed. We must continue to follow Jesus and never give up. He is with us and will help us to become who he wants us to be. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
