“‘If you can’?” said Jesus.
“Everything is possible for one who believes.”
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed,
“I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
Mark 9:23-24 (NIV)
Dear Jesus, I have felt the sharp edges of doubts about You this week. I know You can handle all my questions, but they might be keeping me from growing in my faith. May these doubts strengthen my love for You and not diminish it. And when some of my questions are not answered in my timeframe, help me to trust You with the things I don’t fully understand. I know that You are my best friend, but You are also The Great I Am—full of unfathomable mysteries, too glorious for us to even take in.
Questions to Ponder…
Why do I occasionally have doubts and how do I handle them?
Is it better to deny or ignore my doubts or honestly bring them to the Lord for help?
