Reflect on His Teachings
I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.—Psalm 119:15 (NIV)
“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “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 (NLT)
The man in the above verse trusted Jesus enough to admit that he wrestled with doubts, even though he believed in Jesus’ healing power. He asked Jesus to strengthen his faith. Like this man, your faith will not always be perfect. Jesus understands your weaknesses. He invites you to share your doubts and ask for help to overcome them.
Heavenly Father, when I have trouble believing Your promises, help me overcome my unbelief.
I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.—Psalm 119:15 (NIV)
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.—Psalm 113:3 (NIV)
How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thought and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?—Psalm 13:1–2 (NIV)
