"I believe; help my unbelief!" Drawing deeply from Scripture, Zack connects this cry with other honest, vulnerable, pained cries to God. True faith, then, is not without confusion, pain, and failure, and its opposite is not doubt but apathy. God can handle *anything* that humans offer. In addition, that Jesus commands the demon rather than prays for its removal --despite his statement about the necessity of prayer -- displays his power. And so we do well to affirm it alongside our struggles.
