“I believe; help my unbelief.”
– Mark 9:24
What should we believe about God? We’re told he’s big and powerful—so big and so powerful, in fact, he created . . . everything (Colossians 1:16). We’re told he sees everything and knows everything and can do anything (Isaiah 55:9; Hebrews 4:13; Ephesians 3:20). We’re told it’s always been so (Psalm 90:1-2).
“‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty’” (Revelation 1:8).
We’re also told, despite his size and power, he cares about each of us (Matthew 10:29-31); he loves us, no matter what, even to the point of laying down his life for ours (John 3:16); he wants to spend time with us and for us to know him (Revelation 3:20); and he protects and helps us and never wavers (2 Thessalonians 3:3).
We should believe all that, but do we, really? Most of us, if we were honest, would confess much belief, but some unbelief too. That’s okay; God can handle it. As his followers, though, we can’t leave it there. We must seek to learn more about him. We must seek to reconcile our beliefs with who he says he is. You see, how we see him, what we believe about him, affects everything we do.
The “most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do,” wrote A.W. Tozer, “but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like.”
Okay, so what do we do?
Search your heart and mind, rigorously and honestly. Identify areas of unbelief. Then, be bold. Bring them to God, in prayer. Ask for help. Ask him to teach you about himself. Ask him to help your unbelief.
Amen 🙏❤

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, acknowledging Your greatness and power, the Creator of all that exists. We are in awe of Your majesty as the Alpha and Omega, who is, who was, and who is to come. Your wisdom surpasses our understanding, and Your love reaches into the depths of our hearts.
Lord, we confess that while we believe in Your truth, there are moments of doubt and unbelief within us. Help us to search our hearts honestly and courageously. Reveal to us the areas where our faith may falter, and grant us the courage to bring those doubts before You.
Teach us more about who You are. Help us to reconcile our beliefs with Your Word, that we may truly understand Your love and care for each of us, even amidst the vastness of Your creation. May we feel Your presence as we seek to know You more deeply.
Lord, strengthen our faith where it is weak. Help our unbelief and fill us with a renewed sense of trust in Your promises. We desire to see You clearly and to reflect Your love in all that we do.
Thank You for being a God who listens, who protects, and who never wavers. Draw us closer to You, that we may live fully in the light of Your truth.
In Jesus’ Name, we Pray,
Amen 🙏🤗
Happy Last Day of September ..
