Sometimes I feel like God just needs to do something big to help me believe again. Not that I don't believe in him because I do, so you don't have to worry about that, but sometimes i feel like I'm the man in the bible whose son is possessed and I run to Jesus and I ask him if he can heal my son. And Jesus says "If you believe I can do anything." And then the man says "Lord, I believe, help my unbelief."

I think back to those passages of scripture and I see, read, remember all the miracles that my Savior did in the lives of people and I become baffled by the fact that so many of them did not believe. They did not believe that Jesus, was, and is their Messiah. I think to myself "How could they not believe? Why do they need further proof?" "What more could Jesus possibly do to convince them?" And then I am convicted by the same questions that I ask.

Life circumstances weigh heavy on my heart and I lose sight of my Savior. I lose sight of the miracle of salvation that he has done in my heart. I lose sight of all the times he has shown himself faithful, merciful, and glorious in my life. I forget, I stop believing and I cry out "Lord help my unbelief."
