Scripture: Mark 9: 23-24, 29

Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.(23-24)  And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.(29)

Scripture Commentary:  All things are possible with God

Do you really believe that prayer can answer your needs?   The important word is “needs,” not wishes, wants, or desires.  All things are possible through prayer.

God knows our needs, and He will take care of them.  Faith is a gift from God, and prayer is the key that unlocks our faith. We are asking God to put our life in His hands when we pray. It is then that we are completely dependent on Him.

Prayer demonstrates our reliance on God as we humbly invite Him to fill us with faith and power. There is no substitute for prayer, especially in circumstances that appear to be impossible.

There’s a hymn by Bill and Gloria Gaither that sums it up well, saying,  “I believe help thou my unbelief.  I walk into the unknown trusting all the while.”  We need help with our unbelief.  Believing in Jesus means that anything is possible.  Nothing is too difficult for God.

We cannot have everything we pray for as if by magic, but with faith, we can have everything we need to serve God. Put your faith in His hands and leave it there.
