Are You Saying, "I do Believe; help my unbelief."

Just as Jesus asked the Demon-Possessed Boy's father in Mark 9;21, "How long has this been happening to him?" Jesus already knew how long, but He wanted the father to answer His question. God does for us, what we can't do for ourselves. Notice what the father said in verse 22b. Jesus, if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us! Verse 23, and Jesus said to him, "If you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."
Jesus' words do not mean that we can automatically obtain anything we want if we just think positively, Jesus meant that anything is possible if we believe, because nothing to too difficult for God. We must realize that we cannot have everything we pray for as it by magic; but with faith, we can have everything we need to serve Him.
The attitude of trust and confidence that the Bible calls belief or faith. Hebrews 11: 1,6 says, Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of thing not seen. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Belief or faith is not something we can obtain without help.

Faith is a gift from God. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9. No matter how much faith we have, we never reach the point of being self-sufficient. Faith is not stored away like money in the bank. Growing in faith is a constant process of daily renewing our trust in Jesus.

We can trust God with our unbelief by putting our faith in Him.
