Mark 9

"I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief!"

The comment by the boy's father is descriptive of the faith experience. Belief and unbelief exist in this life in the same moment. This is a common experience in the life of faith. Faith & fear, belief & doubt, can co-exist in our lives. The father in this passage sets the example for us. His belief helps him turn to Jesus to ask for assistance with his unbelief. The question is not whether we will have doubts, questions or unbelief, the question is can we turn to God in those moments.
