“I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief.” What an odd thing to say—but what an even stranger way to feel. Can you imagine? Jesus has stepped into your situation and has agreed to help—to heal the child who has suffered—who YOU have watched suffer—his entire life. You have prayed. You have begged God to take away the suffering; but to this point the answer has been, “no.” All of a sudden, however, Jesus chooses to step in. Do you think that you would, at that point, also say to Jesus, “if you can?” Do you think, at that point, you might also question your faith? It sounds outrageous but after all of the denial, after watching your child suffer all of those years; how do you think you would handle it? I have not watched a loved one suffer for the entirety of their life; but I have watched people that I love suffer and die. I have, over the course of a twenty-four hour period, changed from praying for quick healing to praying for a quick passing. I have been denied, more often than not, on both accounts. I have indeed cried out to my God, “I do believe but help me overcome my unbelief!”
