My Help is in the Lord

This father brought his son to Jesus to be healed. 
Our Lord is a healing Lord! 
However when Jesus pointed out the father’s part in the healing (if you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes), the man realized he needed more than just a healing for his son. 
The man realized he needed help with his own unbelief.
The man offered the belief he did have to the Lord but at the same time cried out for help with his unbelief. 
“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
He understood Jesus’ healing power but he also understood the compassion Jesus would have for him; a father who so wanted his son to be healed but recognized his own unbelief may be a hindrance.
Our Lord knows our level of belief and unbelief. 
But He doesn’t want us to stay there. 
He wants us to grow in that. 
We need to be able and willing to confess our unbelief and ask for His help in getting to the pace of belief that we need to be. 
Are you willing to admit today that you need help and to ask the One who is there to help us for His help? 
“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.”
