“I believe, help my unbelief…” How many times have we, like the father to the child possessed with an unclean spirit, cried out these exact words? C’mon, humor me, how many?

You can overcome unbelief. When you ask God for supernatural help in obeying His Word, He will always help you. You do your part by filling up with the Word, refusing to fear, and receiving His love; and He will meet you with His supernatural power. Here is a prayer to overcome unbelief you can pray in faith: Heavenly Father.

If you’re like me, a sinner saved by grace through faith and one who is being sanctified daily by the Holy Spirit, then I’m guessing your response is a lot like mine: countless times.

What do we battle to believe the most? I can tell you for a fact that thus far, for the six years that I’ve been in the faith, I’ve struggled to believe that God is a personal God;He cares about EVERY SINGLE thing concerning me. Yet the Scriptures tell me He is personal and intimate, even the hairs of my head are all numbered. Sometimes, believing that my name is written on the palm of his hand and that I cannot be snatched from his hand, that He knows, allows, and controls all that concerns me seems a tad bit far-fetched. (Oh Lord, please forgive my unbelief)!

Yet, He says the above and so much more… He knew me even before I was conceived. He orders my steps. He knows even before a word is on my tongue. He is the all-seeing and the all-knowing God. In as much as my finite mind struggles to understand this truth, it doesn’t negate its factuality. C. Spurgeon says that unbelief robs God of His glory. Believers, when we are faced with doubts, then it is time to armor up! It is time for battle! The battle to believe that God is whom He says He is, that He perfects all that concerns us, and that He is a personal God. It is a fight against our unbelief, our pride, our fear, and our sin. It is a fight to give glory to God.

We see His love, first and foremost on the cross, when He doesn’t spare His Son so that we might be reconciled to Him. We see His love when He sends us the Holy Spirit to be our Helper. We continue to see His love every day as He pours His mercies anew every morn’ and His grace that never runs out. It is always sufficient. We see a small fraction of His tenderness in Matthew 10:29 “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will.” Beloved, if God governs the world minutely including the lives of sparrows who cannot and will not fall unless He permits it, how then can we distrust that He governs our lives, even the mundane happenings of every minute and every second?

I love how Jonathan Edwards explains and exhausts this verse. He says, “Sparrows are of very little value; nevertheless God concerns himself so much with their existence that not one ever dies apart from His will; you are of more value than many sparrows; therefore, God will much more concern himself with you so that nothing befalls you apart from His gracious will. The reason we know God’s will for us is gracious is that He is called our Father: “Not one sparrow falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.”

God knows us minutely. He knows us better than we know ourselves. He has counted every hair, even though they are of little value. And not one of them falls to the ground apart from His will.It is enough to know that our Father in heaven loves us deeply, knows us fully, cares and governs us completely, and that, therefore, He is personal. John Piper states that unbelief is the only thing that Christians should be afraid of because it is denying all that we are in Christ. (Help my unbelief)!

Beloved, what then shall we choose? Shall we choose to hopelessly despair and despise Christ’s Cross? Or shall we choose to cry out, “I believe, help my unbelief?” My prayer is that we will choose the latter. Practically, this may mean crying out every day, preaching to our hearts constantly, and clinging on the life thread through Jesus.

All in all, it is a battle that we should be willing to die for… Fighting against unbelief using the Scriptures. For Christ did not leave us as orphans, He left us well-armored: with the Holy Spirit who lives in us; the written word of God, the Bible; and more-so the church.

Praised Be He!
