HELP ME OVERCOME MY UNBELIEF
"'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief' (Mark 9:24). Recently, I've been thinking this should be my life verse. I do believe, yet I have so much unbelief in my life. I walk in faith, yet my faith is often more in the things I see than in the things I don't see. I follow God, yet I repeatedly find myself stumbling down a path of my own choosing.
"Oswald Chambers says, 'Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason -- a life of knowing him who calls us to go.'
"I believe. God, help me overcome my unbelief. Help me to live like I deeply believe you are trustworthy. Help me to abandon my mythology where I believe I am more trustworthy than you, where I live with more faith in my own efforts than in your ability to create the universe."
