Week 25 - The Journey Day 7
"It has often thrown him into fire and into water to kill him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us." Jesus said to him, "'If you can!' Everything is possible to one who has faith." Then the boy's father cried out, "I do believe, help my unbelief!"" Mark 9:22-24

"If", do you ever find yourself having this conversation with God? A father seeks to save his son from being possessed by an evil spirit. God seeks to save all not just the son but the father and those that are seeking to be saved. The son was not in his right mind and could not ask for healing. The father intercedes on his behalf, we have impact on others lives when we seek God to intervene.
"I do believe, help my unbelief!" What is it that helps our unbelief, Jesus has zero unbelief, none, nada, He is the belief that we seek. What is it about Him that we can have, to get to this place of total belief, where He is at! "He said to them, "This kind can only come out through prayer." Mark 9:29 A life of prayer, finding that quiet time and sitting with God, getting to know the perfect will of God.
You can follow the crowd and be lost in confusion as the father in this story was doing or as Jesus clearly tells us and shows us by His life, how to live in peace. Breaking away from the craziness of life and just being with God, even for a split second is worth more than anything.
What is God saying to me?
Dear Father, You see the situations we put ourselves into, the troubles we create because we are not in daily prayer with You, help our unbelief. Listen to the prayers of those we are interceding for, remove the doubt that is in their heart and give them the rock solid faith that Jesus gives to those that belief and demonstrate it through their actions. Prayers for the solid foundation in a world that continues to shake, may we see Your perfect will through consistent daily prayer. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Good Success, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Strong, Pray for us.
