Wrestling With Unbelief As Believers

Hello my good people, we will be looking at the word “belief” and how it applicable to us as believers today.

Have you ever believed that God could do something, but wrestled with doubt at the same time? May be you have not, but permit me to be the only person here,i wouldn’t mind.

In Mark 9, we discover a story of a desperate father seeking healing for his son. The boy had been possessed by an evil spirit, causing him great suffering. The father, filled with both faith and doubt, approached Jesus to heal his son. In the midst of his plea, he cried out, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24).

I strongly believe, this should be the prayer and a heart cry of every sincere child of God.

The reminder is a powerful one: it’s okay to acknowledge our doubts and bring them before the Lord. It doesn’t mean we have no faith.
The father’s declaration, “I do believe,” reveals his faith in Jesus’ power to heal. He also recognizes the presence of doubt within him. He humbly asks Jesus to strengthen his faith and help him overcome his unbelief. In this simple yet profound statement, the father shows a willingness to surrender his doubts to the One who can provide the answers and the assurance he seeks.

Like the father in this story, you too may experience moments of doubt and uncertainty. You may question God’s plans, struggle to understand His ways, or feel overwhelmed by the challenges you face. In those moments, remember that your doubts do not disqualify you from God’s love and grace. Instead, they provide an opportunity for you to draw closer to Him, seeking His guidance and strength.

Ultimately, Jesus commanded the evil spirits to leave the man’s son (Mark 9:25-26). The son received healing and even in his wrestling, the father’s prayer was answered.

If you find yourself facing a difficult situation and you believe God can act but are also wrestling with doubt, remember that you are not alone. Bring your uncertainties to Jesus, just as the father did. Cry out, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Trust that He will meet you in your doubts, providing the reassurance and guidance you seek in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
