Asking God For Help When Our Faith Is Weak

In the Scriptures, a father who desires healing for his son says to Jesus “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” The man’s comment reveals an important truth. We can honestly and genuinely believe in Christ and yet still have some elements of doubt or weakness in our faith. Jesus did heal this man’s son. Here’s my prayer: Lord, we believe, we really do, but we ask for Your help where our faith is weak.

The first time I read that passage I experienced relief. I was so happy to know that it was okay to admit that I needed help from Him with my faith.

I agree, Mary, it's a RELIEF to know that we can just simply admit to God that we need help.
