Daily Devotion - How Do I Overcome My Unbelief?
“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
I imagine he was mentally and emotionally exhausted. For years he searched unsuccessfully for the healing his son needed. He tried everything within his own power, but his son’s suffering continued.
Desperate for something — anything — to work, he turned to Jesus.
We find the account of this man’s story in the books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. At a very young age, an evil spirit possessed the boy. We aren’t given the details around the years nor the search for healing. But the story starts with the man and his son in the middle of an arguing crowd. He and his son set off to find this Jesus who many were talking about. When they arrived, Jesus was not there. However, some of His disciples were there and it was said that they, too, had the power to heal. So, he asked them to cast out the evil spirit possessing his son. The disciples attempted to do so but failed.
Not long after, Jesus appeared. Frustrated, He said, “You faithless people! How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.” (Mark 9:19)
The father explained the details of his son’s affliction then pleaded with Jesus, “Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.” (Mark 9:22).
This man’s story of unbelief may resonate with you right now.
How do I overcome my unbelief?
In order to overcome unbelief, we must be willing to surrender it all. We must surrender the belief that we can do it all on our own. Whether it is our own wisdom, ability, or finances, they all come to an end.
In order to overcome unbelief, we must have a burning desire to replace our worldly desires with the things of God. Faith is His gift to us. We simply can’t hold tightly to the things of the world and experience the fullness of faith at the same time.
In order to overcome unbelief, we must ask God for help.
None of us are perfect believers, but as we surrender and ask God for help, we make progress toward experiencing the fullness of a faith that knows anything is possible with Christ.
